I am asking ALL MEN of the EXPANSE to please read this.
YOU ARE PRECIOUS.
Before your start to deny it and scroll away. Just take 3 minutes and fucking read this please.
Last Friday
I got news that a friend of 30 plus years passed as a result of his own hand. I won’t get into the grim details.
Last Saturday morning
I got news that another friend of 25 plus years passed from complications of something that could have been managed by diet and movement. (And I know it is always deeper than that). He struggled for a long time with his relationship to food. Could that be the results of his own hand… consciously or unconsciously? Maybe. Regardless, a man in stuggle is a man in struggle. Struggle can always use support.
Last Saturday afternoon
I got news that another friend in his 30s. Passed as a result of a self inflicted gun wound.
They were:
All men.
All hurting.
3 men I know.
All talented.
All brilliant.
All loaded with potential.
All beautiful souls.
All have people who are wondering “what the fuck? How could this happen?”
I am supporting a LOT of people.
It doesn’t matter.
I will make time.
I still make space when people need deep help, in real time.
Walking people off of ledges…
Literally and figuratively.
18 months ago one of my closest friends ended his life.
He knew I could support him. Yet he didn’t want to “bother” me.
If you are worried about being a bother… that’s fine. Be a bother. And ask someone for help anyway.
Be embarassed and ask for help anyway.
ASK FOR FUCKING HELP.
You are precious.
Yes YOU, a man. You are precious.
It is not a weaknes. You are precious.
Not just to your mother.
YOU ARE PRECIOUS period.
You are important.
Like the ring to Golum precious.
Seeiously.
If you are a man who is in distress right now….
Fucking bother someone. Please.
Be honest and tell them all the depths.
If you are a man who knows a man who you think is in distress…
-Givng all his shit away
-Speaking despair languge
-Giving up
-Isolating
-Binge eating
-Not eating at all
Please… ask questions… even if you think you are “bothering them”, ask questions.
Please, tell them you will make the time.
They may take you up on it, they may not.
At very least, they have an option.
Tell them they are NOT a bother or a burden. Tell them over and over and over that they are not a bother.
Not to rescue them, to let them know that they have a resource.
I can only hold space and support as many as I can.
I need other men to join the movement.
Loneliness is real.
Despair is real.
When they are gone…
When YOU are gone, it is too late.
No more woulda l shoulda, coulda.
Ask for some support.
Get some support.
Offer some support.
Give some support.
I fucking love you.
My brother…
You are PRECIOUS.
This is part of the reason Ibam so passionate about the Expanse and Man OS.
Please…
Tell your friends to come and join the EXPANSE. We have a whole lot to offer. Tell them to come in and jdo Man OS Lite. It is fucking free.
PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
Don’t wait.
They are precious.
I fucking love you.
