The Mask You Live In

Investing in the emotional well being of our boys and young men may be the silver bullet for a healthier society. Make no mistake, emotional unresolved pain with ineffective coping strategies is at the root of misogyny, violence, rape, domestic abuse, depression, hate crimes, suicide, substance abuse and more.
- boys are 2x as likely to be victims of physical abuse
- boys are 4x as likely to commit suicide
- emotionally disturbed boys outnumber girls by 4 to 1
By age 9, most boys have learned to repress all primary feelings except anger. Thus "rage becomes the principle conduit for repressed pain, fear, sadness and grief." The bottom line from my perspective is how do we as a society do a better job of bringing a sense of purpose, meaning, belonging and a way of offloading emotions, including stress and anger, in ways that are adaptive and not harmful. I believe it is a modern day imperative.

Between Impossible and possible's just time. Besides, the word says I'm possible.

Burden your minds, bring to reality fiction. Bring brass tacks animations of life. Be the next inventor.

One in a million

You're one in a million, worth a thousand war s. The only one of your kind, a work of art, excellent in comparison with non other, created by the best of the best. You're the only one that thinks the way you think, the only one that feel the way you do; the only one that knows how you feel. A unique personality, do not be deceived you're the only one like you in a million years and the only one who'll be you in a million years to come. The world will never see you the way you are, they all want you to succumb to their ways, they want you to become them. Because, we've all got our different worlds. They'll try to drain you of all of you, all of his artistry in you but know that YOU'RE AN OCEAN. You cannot be finished, they can take all they want but God's your sufficiency and your capacity. You cannot be finished. You're beautiful, you're wise, you're a unique mold. They'll try to redefine you but know who you are. You're his love, th...
