Sending this tote bag to my mom so she can buy it for me as a graduation gift 😭🫶🏼 I’m pinching pennies over here, Nick but goddamn it that bag is getting purchased.

Also, great article. Very human and just know you not alone out here. Do the skateboarding! Life is too short not to try. I pray you get everything you want out of this life and more. 🤍

Side note: as a believer in God, the “God doesn’t put more on you than you can handle” line doesn’t help me at all. It’s actually super depressing bc excuse me… I didn’t ask to be on Gods strongest soldiers list for the last 10 years?! lol

Thank you for reading! I saved a bag for you whenever you're ready, no worries, I get it! I appreciate you affirming how human this was, cuz ya boy was nervous lol.

And at this point. I will, I will get that skateboard lol. Times when I felt weak or I couldn't endure anymore, I clung on to hope or honestly felt through my frustrations. God gave us this range of emotions, even Jesus was shook the night before he was persecuted. That helps me when the guilt kicks in.

Thank you so much, Nick. I know I don’t have to explain myself but I did NOT forget about the bag. Never be nervous to show your emotion. Writing is a beautiful way to express human emotions and feel understood. I’d read more pieces like this from you for sure. I know being a man, a black man at that… its sometimes hard to express what you’re trying to say when it pertains to how you feel (taking that from conversations w my husband, my dad and my black male friends that I’m close to.) but we care are we wanna hear your human experiences, thoughts, and whatever else. Even if it’s just a brain dump. 🤍🫶🏼

This made my heart hurt to read, Nick. Capacity has been my word all week as I’ve been understanding the difference between capacity and discipline. Please give yourself grace, and skateboarding might be the cure. We need hobbies that allow us to only have fun. Awww I’m giving you a big hug 🫂
