To all the guys out there, especially in high school that play sports. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a team or not. My back hurts so much and I’m sure my constant headaches I have are related to me ignoring injuries in high school just because I was told to be tough because I’m a man. I let bullshit society expectations get to me and allowed me to satisfy with being hurt and now at 20 my body feels kinda like shit more times than it should.
Don’t be me Iight. Get healthy. Get happy.
Hypermasculinity out here physically hurting men. Can’t imagine how much more it affects black men/athletes.
Y'all deserve care.
