Life throws up the most fucked up shit sometimes. One day, you'll be sitting there, happy as fuck, not a care in the world, and 1 action, or 1 call, or 1 text message, can just change everything. I wont go in to details, because ... well, read on.
Today I got a message from someone close to me. They're in a bad place right now. Struggling to deal with their emotions, and ready to give up on work, friends, and even life. That's really hard to deal with, due to how close they are to me, and how much they mean to me. I've been speaking to him for several hours about it, trying to offer my advice, and trying to get him thinking more positively, and offer solutions to his problems. It's not as easy as that, it never is. But after I made this video, and perhaps you can tell my head isn't all there for this video, I certainly felt like that while making it, I sat down, and thought....
what does it even mean. What does any of this shit even mean. We all have feelings. We all hurt, we all suffer, we all experience emotions of joy, and happiness. But the thing that we, as people, do more than anything else in this world, is lie to ourselves, and to our friends and family, about these experiences. Only when they become overwhelming, do we confront them. I'm guilty of it myself. So many times someone might ask me "What's wrong man" - And my response is "Nothing, I'm fine thanks" - But why? Why should I tell that lie? Why not be honest, and admit "Actually, my head is fucked up". I don't think that you will be thought of any less as a person, as a man, because you're having a hard time, so why the fuck do we bury our feelings, and our issues, until they begin to control us.
I don't like it this mentality we as people have, and although right now, I'm in a very strong place in my life, it hurts me that someone so close to me isn't, and there is very little I can do about it.
Thanks for watching, hopefully you enjoyed the video, if you did, be sure to leave a like on the video.
