It doesn’t take much to start a movement, just a small group of people to make the first jump. And honestly, I think we’re almost there. I know this channel posts some pretty dour and hopeless stuff, I know you feel conflicted sharing it with your friends. I understand the frustration and sense of isolation you may feel. But, I think things are genuinely starting to change. I am seeing these words used more widely. I’m hearing the discussions in spaces I never thought I’d find them. I am watching the trolls who swung their clubs at any discussion about men, squashed back under their bridge. So I’ll put my neck on the line here and say I expect the next five years to be a seminal moment in time for male victims of abuse, for fathers, for men’s mental health and more. I think it’s time to be hopeful, and to take our seat at the front row in the stadium of change. So let’s keep going. What do you think happens next? ~ Images by Kalei deLeon, Mark Olsen and Kelly Sikkema from Unsplash
