Imma just say this, when was the last time you check on a man mental state? We might say " im good" or " im just tired" but as a adult man. We will never fell what unconditional love nor fully feel understood. The average adult male is constantly bombarded with a losing streak to only have temporary wins. We can't cry for help with being judged or used as a weapon against us, it hard to find support when we need it. The constant pressure of our responsibilities to our job, our communities, our families. The constant need of something from everyone around us. Never good enough. From our jobs " I need you to work harder and longer", from our community " I need you to be strong all 25/8. idc what your going through!!" From our families "I need this , I need that, I need you to love me more, I need you provide, I need you to pick up this, i need you be more involved, i need some money ". All I'm saying is we are under constant pressure, we just want to take a breather to collect ourselves, if not we crack,
