It's the first time in a while when I am honoured to be part of such a masculine group. Men who are not afraid of exposing their weaknesses and share their pain and seeking support from each other is like a dream come true for me to be honest. A little bit about me: In October 2021, life threw an unexpected curveball at me. On what seemed like an ordinary morning commute, a sudden car accident turned my world upside down. I found myself confronting not only physical trauma but also deeper battles within my mental and emotional landscape. The real shock came not from the accident itself, but from how those around me reacted. My manager’s dismissive response to the incident—it was as if my pain was just another routine inconvenience—left me stunned and profoundly disheartened. Through this harrowing experience, I learned a vital lesson: the importance of not rushing into situations unprepared. It taught me the necessity of self-reliance and the strength to stand tall, even when external support seems to wither away. This journey is akin to many life’s unforeseen detours that test our spirit. Like many of you, I've faced moments where others' indifference served as a baseless accusation against my worthiness and capability. Yet, it's in these exact moments that I realized the path to resilience lies in self-love and boundary setting. My story is a reminder to take a moment before leaping—to ensure we're armed with the tools and support we deserve. It’s about acknowledging that while some may attempt to exploit our vulnerabilities for their gain, we hold the power to decide the narrative of our own lives. If I can help any of you with overcoming limiting beliefs it would make not only my day, but I'd dare to say a fucking decade of my life. Hopefully the creator of community won't see it as a competition, but just me adding fuel to the fire.
