Dear Men: It's Okay to Cry. Content Warning.
Several months ago, I wrote a story about MLB All-Star Jarren Duran and his struggles with his mental health. There was a docuseries in 2024 where he discussed his suicide attempts in 2022. Besides the homophobic slur he uttered towards a fan that occurred in August 2024, which I still hold him accountable for, I was empathetic towards his plight and also commended him for being open and honest about his personal battles. Many people believe that athletes have perfect lives, but in reality, there's no such thing as a perfect life. In fact, it doesn't exist. At the end of the day, they're regular people just like us and go through hardships. You never know what goes on behind the scenes in their lives.

Lunch becomes something convenient, something fast, something wrapped. By the time evening comes, we’re tired, hungry, and ready for something easy — a quick meal, a delivery, or a snack that requires zero effort. It feels normal. It feels harmless. But this rhythm has quietly shaped the way modern society eats, and we’re paying the price.
