I carry words. In every way possible. I am a writer, I love music, I take photos, I am a dreamer, I am full to the brim with love (well, I was born in '67...)

Once again, another brilliant turnout on an early Sunday morning in Brentwood at the Thatchers Arms. It was absolutely chucking it down when we startedโ€ฆ and still loads of men turned up. That says everything. 8am, men from all ages and all walks of life coming together for our men supporting menโ€™s mental health walk. Everyone is welcome. Itโ€™s completely free. Anyone can come. And weโ€™re doing it every single Sunday. Each week itโ€™s getting busier and busier, and if it helps just one person, then thatโ€™s enough for me. What I love seeing is men actually talking. Getting things off their chest. Supporting each other. If youโ€™ve had a good week, turn up and help lift someone else. If youโ€™ve had a bad week, come down and vent. Thereโ€™s no judgement here. None of that. We donโ€™t look at you like thatโ€ฆ. We are all here to support one another. Week on week, watching this grow, itโ€™s genuinely powerful to see men supporting men. So thank you to everyone who turned up again today, rain and all. Another lovely Sunday. Proper proud. See you all again same time next week. Bosh. ๐Ÿ‘Šโค๏ธ

This!
Nailed it. ๐Ÿ’ฏ You wonder where we went wrong? It started with everybody is a winner. Everybody gets a trophy. Every student succeeds. Nobody left behind. Zero accountability. Enabling. Lack of resilience. Anything else?

I was born in 1961. Nobody had food allergies. There were no TRANS kids. I could ride public transportation without being set on fire. I could go to school without getting jumped. We played outside until the streetlights came on. Cartoons didnt try to turn us gay. Movies and TV shows didn't try to depress us about our lives. Families didn't break up over politics. You could say "Merry Christmas" without starting a war. A man was a man, a woman was a woman, and nobody pretended otherwise. Nobody lost their job or their home for merely stating biological facts. We respected cops, teachers, and the flag. Nobody was "offended" by EVERYTHING. And if anybody WAS offended by anything, it was THEIR PERSONAL PROBLEM, not a national crisis. Call me old-fashioned and outdated - but I really miss those days. I'd give anything to go back to BEFORE 24/7 cable news, social media doom-scrolling, and algorithm rage machines. Because tech turned families into enemies, politics into war, and every keyboard warrior into a lie-spreading narcissist. So Santa, if you're following me: All I want for Christmas is a global time machine. So we can get back to the glorious days of real community, actual news, personal responsibility - AND SANITY.
