For the ones who never said it

From Make America Dream Again — the ethos under the house. One human's voice. No lying.

I lost my father — my best friend — to suicide. So I don't talk about mental health from a pamphlet. Real men feel it. Real men cry, fall down, and carry scars you'd never guess. The silence is the killer, not the sadness. So we make help one tap — call or text 988, no hoops, no "please hold" — and we sit with the man who's hurting instead of telling him to man up. For the ones we lost who never said it, and the ones still here who can: stay on the board. Press the semicolon.

If the sentence ever feels like it wants to end — in the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), any hour; or find help anywhere at findahelpline.com. You are not alone, and the story isn’t over.
