Every man I know is carrying something heavy in silence

Let me tell you about my friends.

One lost his job and his girlfriend left him. Same week. He's far from family and hasn't told anyone how bad it actually is.

One flew overseas to meet someone. She didn't show up. He came back just... different.

One finished his masters, has student loans, still no job. Smiles every single time you see him.

One moved back in with his parents at 29. Said he feels like less of a man.

One is facing deportation after building his whole life here for 10 years.

None of them have said a word. Not to me, not to anyone. We just carry it i guess. like thats just what you do. Is this just my circle or is it like this everywhere?
