Place for male identifying persons to share their stories without judgement and come together in support to bring each other up instead of tear each other down. "Alpha" males and other dumb ass made up shit will be dealt with. This is NOT a space to bring women down this a place to bring men UP.

Hello! Last week, I made a post ranting about feeling overwhelmed by the things going on in my life. I received some very good advice, and upon reflecting, I managed to shift my perspective.

Now I feel better and am in a more positive mindset. This got me thinking about the good things going on in my life. One thing that I am proud of is the fact that I started working out one and a half months ago and watching my diet as well. During this period of time, I managed to lose 4 kg, and I feel stronger physically than I have in a long time. I started tracking my calories, eating less junk food, cutting out sweets, and no longer drinking sodas. I still have a lot of work to do, but I now feel better and more motivated to continue.

So here’s my question: what are some things going on in your life that you are proud of?

I adopted an adorable young dog. He’s currently wearing me out while we adjust to each other which keeps me from doomscrolling or focusing on the USA’s descent into fascism.

I needed this.

You now have a friend for life, congratulations! Stay strong, fascism never lasts; it will get better.
