Grab Life by the Balls

I've seen it too many times: good men, strong men, spiralling into the darkness with no lifeline to grab onto. Some of my best mates are guys, and I've watched them shoulder burdens they won't talk about, hiding their struggles because they think they have to "man up."

But here's the truth: strength isn't silence. Strength is sharing, leaning on someone, asking for help when the weight feels too much.

Mental health struggles don’t discriminate, but the stigma around men reaching out for support is still so real. Society tells men they need to have it all together, but none of us are built to carry everything alone.

Let’s be the generation that changes the narrative. Check in on your mates, let them know it's okay to talk, and remind them they don’t have to face the darkness by themselves.

To every man out there: your feelings are valid, your struggles are human, and your story matters. You're not alone in this fight.

Let’s end the stigma. 💙
