#LiveOn

Recently I have been searching the internet as well as noticing in the media and on social networks people are losing people they love to suicide. The main reasons in society today, that are forcing the youth and others to take their own lives, are bullying and feeling neglected by family, friends or actually society as a whole. There are many organizations out there that are trying to help (such as the It Get's Better campaign and The Trevor Project) and seize this growing epidemic but it seems as though it's not enough. This post is just to let everyone out there know that life is beautiful and it deserves to be lived by EVERYONE. There will always be someone or something in your life that will bring you down but what matters most is getting back up, facing everyone, everything and anything in the face and saying YOU HIT LIKE A BITCH and walking away stronger than ever. Anything that is thrown at you is simply a test to prove not only to others but to yourself that you are strong enough to make it through and don't you EVER forget that.

I have gone through my share of ups and downs (mostly downs) and I have dabbled in the self harm category but at the end of the day I've realized that yes, it does help and it does remove the pain from my head and my heart, but it doesn't last long and whatever problems I was facing are right there laughing at me in the end and the only way to rid them is to stand up, chin high and face them. Cutting, taking pills, doing drugs constantly are only little gateways to another world that fades and fades quickly. When you wake up in the morning after an episode or after a breakdown you realize that the problems are still there and hurting yourself won't make them go away. Do I have scars? Of course but I look at them as signs of strength, as signs of showing everyone that yes I have done things to myself but I am still here and I am still going to make a name for myself. I am going to #LiveOn and live for another day until I can finally say I am the happiest I have ever been. I will #LiveOn to make a difference, to show and prove to everyone that has EVER doubted me that they were wrong and that I am here and I am here to stay. 

It is hard, it is NOT going to be easy, you will go to War with not only others but yourself as well, you will fall, you will fail, you will hurt, you will break but you will NEVER be defeated. Always look towards tomorrow and know that there is nothing better than life itself and there are people out there who are here to help you get by and help you survive, including myself. You guys don't know me, and we may never meet face to face or anything but just know I am here for you, I am here to listen, I am here to talk with and I am here to help you from experience not only what I read, but from pure experience. I've been bullied, I've been neglected, I've been hurt and I know pure pain at its best, so know I am here for you.

If you are reading this post right now then you have to know that no matter what you are beautiful, you are strong, you are courageous and you are WORTH IT and you should never let anyone tell you otherwise.

A Simple Introduction

First thing's first I'd like to say Welcome to my blog and I'm glad you've found your way here whether it be a friend sent you, your mom sent you, you happened to stumble upon it or your dog hit the mouse and clicked it by accident but fear not, there's no reason to leave. My name is Christopher, Chris for short, and this is my blog "It's a Man's Man World". You're first instinct is to probably ask what the HELL is with the title of this blog and my answer is, it's simply a play on words. People like to say they are a "one woman man" or a "woman's man" or a "man's woman" well being that this is my blog and I am of the gay community making myself a "man's man" I decided to play on it and title the blog "It's A Man's Man World". Take it or leave it, you're already here right ? :)

A little about me? I grew up on the Lower East Side and now live out my days in Harlem. I live with my mother and my dog Cody, aka Noodles. I graduated from one of the top high schools in Manhattan and now attend Laguardia Community College, I know, I know you're probably like, what ? one of the top high schools in Manhattan and now going to a community college? Well let's just leave it at this...shit happens. Anyway I am currently studying Liberal Arts where I plan to go off to a 4 year school and finish out my degree there, most likely in English being that my dream is to be a writer. I started out with a love and passion for acting but that was put on hold for a bit, don't get me wrong, the love is still there, it's just I've realized my true gift is writing. I am 19 years old, single and gay and currently writing freelance for EDGE NY which is a gay online publication. I am there new theater critic (which are also posts I will post up, my reviews and such). Hmm that was pretty straight forward now wasn't it?

Now let's move onto what this blog is about. I decided to start this blog due to my high obsession with Sex and the City , yes I said it, SATC, I know right how gay? Haha anyway! Yes I became seriously in tune with Carrie Bradshaw and her amazing fashion sense, witty banter and crazy sex life. This became to topic of my Human Sexuality class essay about myself in which I titled it Sex IN The City, I'm such a sucker for play on words. Moving right along, I took a true interest in this character and felt connected in a way to her. She longed for love, she was a writer, she loved her city of New York (in which I do as well that is when I'm not running to work in Times Square and can't even get past a group of people staring at the SAME building) and she had amazing friends around her. So let's just cut this short, the purpose of this blog is to give you an insight into my personal life, there are NO barriers here, and I shall voice what I would like to voice about. There will be posts about love and sex (the main posts) and then there will be little posts here and there with other types of information as well such as inspirational posts, advice posts and whatever else I feel like posting really.

So with ALL that being said let's wrap this up. I hope you enjoy what you are going to read and I hope this blog can become something daily for you guys. Trust me, if you're single, longing for love, living in New York (or anywhere else in the world) and ready for a ride then keep checking back.
