There was a lot going on in my head…
felt like a cyclone most days.

Everything at once.

Work pressure.
Providing.
Trying to be everything I thought I had to be.

But I didn’t talk about it.

I just kept going…
because in my head, that’s what a man does.

You push through.
You handle it.
You don’t say anything.

But keeping it all in… doesn’t make you stronger.

It just gets louder.

And after a while… it starts affecting everything.
How you show up.
How you think.
How you connect at home.

That’s something I had to learn.

I’ve also had to learn I’m not just a provider.

I’m a husband.
I’m a dad.
And that means being present too… not just physically, but mentally.

Still working on that now.

If you’re dealing with that same noise in your head — you’re not alone 🤍

Whanau first. Always. 🤍
