WHY YOU SHOULD NOT COMMIT SUICIDE IF YOU SUFFER FROM A MENTAL ILLNESS
Your life matters! Please, put down that gun. Please, don’t swallow those pills. Please do not cut yourself. You are a great person. An inspiration to us all. We need you to stay alive and fight through whatever it is that you are going through. You may not believe it, but it is, in fact, true. Your life has significant value to those that are around you. You may feel like you are alone, and you may feel like nobody cares. However, that is furthest from the truth. The reality is that those that love and care about you will be there for you.

IT’S TAX SEASON
Tax season is here. Hopefully, you have been keeping track of all of your mileage and receipts. You won’t receive your W2 or 1099 until early 2020, but you can prepare for the onslaught of tax documents by preparing throughout 2019.

ORANGETHEORY vs. F45
I have a confession. I am addicted to High-Intensity Interval Training or HIIT. There is something about going hard for a certain amount of time, with only less time to recover. It makes my body feel incredible, and even when I am done working out, my body still burns calories.

Black Belt Or Die Trying
I wanted to quit! After the last injury, broken ribs, I wanted to quit Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). The latest damage would have been my third major setback, and mentally I did not want to endure not being able to train. Losing precious time on the mat could cause a deterioration in my skills. I couldn't afford any more training setbacks.

I am Not Weak...A Black Man with a Mental Illness
I admired the bridge as I drove across it and thought to myself, this would be a great place to jump and die. It has been nearly a decade since I thought about killing myself. Back then, I thought about suicide more than I thought about my children.
