Happy Birthday To Me

People born specifically on the 1st of June are believed to be curious, kind and fairly patient with plenty of the typical Gemini high adaptability and generosity. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is our Sun adding lots of warmth, spontaneity and thoughtfulness to your temperament. If you have this birthday your intuition and assertiveness are very sharp making you naturally competitive and giving you expressive communication skills. You possess a modern practical outlook and are usually easygoing, optimistic and rather witty. Individuals with a June the first birthday like to be knowledgeable and often have a wide range of interests alongside a strong desire to learn something new. You are highly creative and sociable but you also have a restless streak that makes you strongly independent and a little guarded emotionally. Understanding the actions and thoughts of others will ordinarily be easier for you than awareness of your own comportment.

"Men who are vocal about any kind of mental issues can be dismissed as weak. As inferior. As flawed, broken guys who are more likely to be ostracized for their honesty, instead of rewarded for their brav...ery. Instead of affording a fellow man compassion, we mock, belittle, and turn a blind eye. We freely spit the phrase, 'Man up,' as though your gender alone should suffice to guide you through your darkest times.Or worse: we nonchalantly respond, 'Well, that sucks,' then change the subject because talking about feelings is just too real."

My mental illness is a strength that I channel all my rage and bitterness through. It gives me the focus to commit to some kind of creative outlet that lets me vent my anger at all that I hate in this world. I don't MAN UP. I don't pretend I am not annoyed. I never get over anything. My tolerance for personal suffering in silence is obscenely low. My mental illness is my free pass to act like a maniac and actually be a pretty harmless old crank who understands the pain of the world and feels it so intensely that I can't be around others all the time. I am exhausting to anyone but myself. So own your mental illness and understand that. And anyone who belittles my pain will soon learn not to mistake my compassion for weakness. Because I am also a dangerous animal if pushed to far or disrespected by deliberate cruelty. You just never know when I am going to snap and go FULL Rhino.
