I found my first grey hair the other day.
And instead of spiraling into a mid-life crisis and buying a new car,
It caused me to reflect on where I am today –
And the days back when I didn’t think I would make it to today…
Suicide
We were taught that to be soft, was to be weak, it was to be a pushover, a coward. Soft was the opposite of everything we were told we should aspire to be as men. Hard and Tough were the goals, and anything less than this – anything softer than this – was simply unacceptable.
But with the biggest killer of men being themselves – is ‘hardening up’ really doing any of us men any good?
When all hope is gone, and you feel forever lost, reach out for the light.
