Video was from a few weeks back but I still have the reoccuring feeling and figured it made more sense to post it at least. Just been writing irrelevant stuff in the meantime.

Being a man isn’t as simple as how you physically and biologically are, but rather how you carry yourself as one. The definition may be different amongst others but any man who doesn’t understand/accept themselves nor respect those around them has more reevaluating to do.

Just go for it. No need to wait.

Although you’re capable of providing for yourself, you don’t have to be. On the other hand, if you find yourself providing more for others, understand that you need you as well.

You can't afford to pour your resources into areas that won't yield you anything.

The way you carry yourself is important, not only for yourself but often times it can be perceived by others on the outside. Sometimes, people notice you don't actually carry yourself but lay yourself down before others.

Some of our best and most productive time is spent by ourselves. You are punishing yourself by being by yourself.

We gain nothing as a society putting others down when we ourselves aren’t any higher than they are. Be the reason you and someone else get to smile and feel welcomed each day.

As I expand on previously mentioned topics, take a moment to reflect on what you've either undergone as a child or what your children may be undergoing currently. It's easy to sweep things under the rug and allow them to be walked over in years to come, not realizing how much neglecting the problem would lead to future issues that are now hard to reverse. Being used to rugs with lumps under them when that's not how they come nor need to be but you haven't been able to walk flat footed for some time now.

Exactly what the title says, you decide everything. Even if you don't get to choose the action, you decide how to take it, perceive it, and wield it in your own way.
