Why Men's Mental Health Matters. Content Warning.
The stigma surrounding men's mental health is a pervasive issue that often goes unaddressed. Society has ingrained in men the belief that expressing emotions or seeking help is a sign of weakness, perpetuating a harmful cycle of silence and suffering. This toxic masculinity not only damages men's well-being but also affects their relationships, careers, and overall quality of life.

Ask Inner God
In China, both children and adults have been trying to exceed others in "life competition". For children, they are instructed by teachers to study extremely hard to get admitted into a top-tier school (like municipal junior school, provincial high school, university with the title of “985”, etc.) . Moreover, parents also play a role in pressing them to join extracurricular study classes, with nearly total ignorance of children's real interests. For adults, when attempt to set foot on this dog-eat-dog society, they finally find it difficult to find a satisfactory job, especially in the background of the sluggish economy. A tiny minority of university graduates may get lucky, as they outweigh others in the fierce civil service examination or the interview of some lucrative companies after rounds of selection, and are eligible to get a relatively respectable job. However, Most of the lower-middle class adults have to do with jobs which feature demanding long-time work and low salaries and no social insurance. Since restriction on age exists in many job descriptions, unemployed people over the age of 35 can hardly get a job at all. In a word, competition hangs over common Chinese during their life-span development.

How Random Posts Enlighten My Mental Health Journey
I have always enjoyed writing and explaining concepts using creative ways and word choice that allow me to really connect to the heart of the reader or listener. But making time has always been difficult, so my solution was to use my social media platform as a writing tool to expand my creative sparkle. I committed to a weekly post on my Instagram account using one of my many photos I kept from random places and using it as a prop to write. Typically, I start brainstorming days ahead as I go over the picture selection and what to write about or I can come up with something creative on the spot and post it right away. This creative process is rewarding as it helps me get out of the mundane, while inspiring others. Although there was a flow in my creativity, it lacked structure and organization.

From Me, Myself, and I
Have you ever noticed that many people use the words Me, Myself, and I much more than You, Yourself, and Your? I recently discovered that in myself. When analyzing my writing, especially emails to others, the pattern became clear to me. What did this say about my character? Was I self-obsessed?

Exercise The Spirit & Soul Pt. 1. Content Warning.
It’s funny how our bodies are consistently finding ways to betray us. No matter how much you invest into your vessel, it is built to sabotage itself and doesn’t mind taking you down with it. It truly scares me to hear and/or see people treat the human body like it’s some Magnum Opus of God. “The body is the temple”, they say, and there’s no reason to disagree with that. Still, let’s skip the superfluous philosophical speech by calling this flesh costume exactly what it is. It is a disloyal cowardly tool for spiritual growth that becomes a prison for many who know not the reality of materials. Honestly, the human body is no more (nor less) sacred than the toilet paper you wipe your ass with.

Power of Daydreaming
“Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time.” - Edward Gorey. On any given day, you might spend a third to half of your waking hours daydreaming. That might sound like a colossal waste of time, but scientists believe there’s a reason behind it. After all, humans wouldn’t have evolved to do it so much if it wasn’t beneficial. So, what’s really happening when our minds wander? Let’s dive into the world of daydreaming, starting with the ultimate mind-wanderers: bored teenagers.
