Death By Suicide

I’ve been around my share of men who are overly expressive, very assertive and take their healing seriously. But I’ve also been around men who drown themselves in sex, drugs, alcohol, video games, materialistic things, activities, and everything under the sun to avoid dealing with the reality that they are not okay.

It's okay to not be okay

I literally had no words and no feelings. Just numbness. And to be honest, I haven’t had any words or any feelings lately. I have been avoiding looking at any videos, reading any post, and speaking of any situations that are violent towards Black people because it hurts too much to see. It hurts too f*cking much!
