The C.A.S.T. Presents Wine Down Wednesday's Short. One of the host's first monologue.

The Conversations Among Smooth Thinkers.
It’s wine down Wednesday, Juneteenth and Men’s Mental Health awareness month. This is for the fellas. I see you bro. I see you potna. Do your thing. I’m talking instead of writing this month because it’s something I’m uncomfortable doing FrFr. I write better than I speak but anyways. This ain’t a motivational or inspirational post this is a take care of you post. We often tend to be thrown by the wayside. Nobody’s really gonna speak up for us and you know what? That’s aight. If you don’t feel your best that’s okay too. Maybe you’re tired, maybe you’re feeling defeated no matter what embrace how you’re feeling potna. May seem scary at first but at least acknowledge it, learn from it, adjust to it. Maybe it’s just time to take care of you. I know this may seem like the pot calling the kettle black bc I’m also one who tends to just go go go. All gas no breaks, you must feel free to dial it back a little bit. Especially when needed though. This is a safe space. Relax homie. I know we tend to wire ourselves to grind, work and grind some more. Don’t forget though, if you grind a stone too much eventually you’re left with nothing but dust. It’s okay to take your guard down at times. Yeah it’s popular to bash Men and Masculinity right now. But we’re still here. Some of these online “hyper masculine” folks done gave us a bad rep fr. cough cough red pill N___. But for me though I’m one that enjoys time alone to read, write, journal, and listen to music. I still have to work to do though. (And just stop) When I say stop I’m talkin bout relaxation… not stopping the other way which it seems we’re abnormally good at. That’s a topic for another day though. I’m talking bout doing something that helps take actual care of you. It may feel weird at first. Something about doing nothing bothers me too because we’re so used to just not relaxing. Take care of yourself bro. That’s all I’m saying FR. I see you. You’re not alone, you’re not invisible, you’re strong, you got this even if it feels like you don’t. All feelings are temporary the good the bad the indifferent. It’s all part of the process. Keep your head up… this is a different #WineDownWednesday. Peace.
