i just found this subreddit and i couldn’t help but love this community instantly. a group of men living the way they want on their own terms, it’s definitely where i think i belong. scrolling through here has given me quite a bit of motivation to just say fuck it and live life the way i see fit. it really puts a light on men’s issues too, mental illness and female privilege especially. i’ve struggled a lot with my mental health since my teen years and i still do, but seeing the posts on here really is uplifting and inspiring. happiness comes from within, letting others define you doesn’t help you. live on your own terms. those messages really clicked with something in my mind and it’s almost like i have completely different outlook on life. i don’t have to live for other people, i just need to live for myself and let nobody hold me back. i succeed because i say so, not because of what others say. i should be proud of my achievements and proud of who i am, regardless of what anyone else says. it’s fucking enlightening. i just wanna say this is a great group and i’m looking forward to being here. keep on going fellas.
