To the guys:

Idk I just felt like saying this so some people (including myself) can feel some comfort knowing they’re not alone.

You know, life can be shit sometimes. Friends leave, relationships end, people die. It’s very heartbreaking and sad, I know that very well. But you can only push through. Keep the good memories with you and leave the bad ones behind. I know that these few months may be extra tough for those who aren’t in a positive mental state because everyone is celebrating and happy and you just wish you could be like them. I understand that.

Guys don’t get flowers or gifts. Heck, sometimes not even a birthday wish on our birthdays but it is what it is. I’m sure there are people who appreciate you in one way or another, for the small things you do or say. Not everyone will find out how loved they truly are but there’s at least one person who does. I guarantee that.

I know society is structured in a way where guys cannot be seen having emotions and being vulnerable, it can be incredibly difficult sometimes to even find someone who understands us, someone who is willing to listen to us. It is also incredibly suffocating to keep everything to yourself with no way to release the sadness, stress, anger, disappointment or anything else you are feeling. But you are strong and I believe it. Just hold on a little longer and it’ll be a brand new year, a new opportunity to start fresh and leave everything that happened in 2024 behind.

To all the men, you got this. I believe in you.
