Life is too short to beat yourself up

It’s Ok to feel pain but as a man never seek pity

I know exactly what it feels like to be down in the dumps

Questioning why nobody understands me

For so long I wasted years seeking validation

Only to realize none of that matters

Don’t do that do yourself

At the end of the day, the only thing you are doing is creating deeper wounds

I had this issue and it got me nowhere

If anything my wounds caused me to bring other people down with me

I thought I was over it

But I wasn’t

Instead I used addictions to numb myself down

Sometimes we can convince ourselves all we want

But at the end of the day we are lying to ourselves

I held onto trauma for years

Fought many battles in my head to get over it

And even then it would still come back

I would tell you one thing for certain

I have way more control of my emotions than I ever have in my life

In the past I would hold onto pain

Now I just face it and keep it moving

When you face adversity after adversity, it gets to the point where you are numb to it

Just waiting for the next battle to come

If you have anything that you are holding on to

Whether its a secret or pain and you haven’t properly addressed it

Let it all out on the table

Whether its a therapist, spouse or friend

Just tell somebody

There is no point in keeping that in

The more and more we hold onto stuff

The more you allow things to hold you back

Don’t be like me and hurt others while you are suffering

You’re just bringing other people down with you

You gotta learn how to embrace your flaws

Embrace the good things about you

If you are different than the rest, GOOD!

Embrace it

It’s a compliment at the end of the day

The last thing you want to do is follow the crowd

I just don’t want to see people make the same mistakes i’ve made in life

I know exactly what it feels like to beat yourself up 

Mins turn into hours

Hours turn into days

Days turn into weeks, Week turn into years

Its No way to live

Stop wasting your life

Life is to short for that
