Is being comfortable in vulnerability with someone the ultimate form of intimacy? ❤️ . #egoproof #intimacy #intimate #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #vulnerable #vulnerabilidade #vulnerabilidad https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZm2qnH38e/?igshid=19q0rz0m5nje9

A very legit fear by @_simplyedwin ・・・ One of my biggest fears is to run out of ideas. There are times where I find myself stuck during a project. To avoid designer’s block, I tend to look at my environment and or doing some old school research. I truly believe inspiration is literally everywhere. From reading books, to looking patterns, there’s always something to study to help me with my next project. This enables me to keep my creating juices flowing on a daily basis without having any design road blocks since time is our biggest and most valuable asset as designers. @goodtype . . .

A few weeks ago, my wife and son were at the Track & Field Junior Olympics in Greensboro, NC, where my son was competing for gold. A half hour before his first race, a fight in the stands turned into a brawl, and that turned into a stampede of 20,000 people after someone yelled "GUN!". When my wife called from my son's phone and I couldn't hear her over the sirens, I thought the worst. And, when no news outlets were covering it, I went down a rabbithole of expecting even more bad news. When she called back an hour or so later, when they were safe and far away from the insanity, I cried like a 2-year-old. Later that night, I cried on a FaceTime with my kid, just counting my lucky stars that nothing happened besides a few broken bones and random injuries, and then the psychological trauma for everyone who fled that day. Those moments - where I'm terrified for what could be happening but I'm thankful as hell for what didn't happen - they're now on par with the moments where I recognize that things are amazing. I'm not going to be here on Earth for that long, so what I need to do is start looking at the life in front of me instead of a phone or computer screen. Moments, not double tapped hearts and eggplant emojis, are all we've got. ❤️ - @joelfrieders . #egoproof ⁣#momentsareallwevegot #greensboronc #greensboro https://www.instagram.com/p/ChkOKQeIBds/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy day day! 👋 Greetings from Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany 🇩🇪 where we’re working on top secret projects 🤫 hanging with friends 🤗 and most importantly…drinking wine. 🍷 We don’t show our faces often, but fuck it, right? I am one of the face-havers here at EGOPROOF, and I want you to know that you’re not alone if or when you struggle with bullshit. 💩 I have clinical anxiety and OCD, and my Overthinking Processor™ is definitely and always getting its work in. Despite the myth that we’re okay if we look okay ❌ we should all be aware that a whole helluva lot of us suffer from some bullshit. ⭕️ We’re not alone, even if and when we feel like we are. TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH. 🗣 And talk to your friends about it. Maybe they feel the same? Maybe they need someone to talk to about it and y’all didn’t even know? 🤝 And maybe, if they don’t give AF, you don’t need them in your life. 🚫 That’s the facts, jackabees. Also, I’m just spewing shit here, but this is a new embroidered classy sample I’m rocking. It’ll be released shortly as part of a midsummer who-gives-a-fuckery. Seasonal releases are a pain in the butthole when you’re as overthinky as someone like me. 🤷‍♂️ BBL, Ang is ready to go-go gadget. ✌️ ❤️ . #egoproof #talkaboutit #talkaboutmentalhealth #overthinking (at Uni Cafe Freiburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfq8FNWM2H9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'd wager that the vast majority of us are not mental health experts. We aren't trained in crisis intervention, we didn't get certified to talk people off bridges, and we wouldn't pose as a psychologist outside of playing one on TV. BUT, sometimes we end up in situations where we need to be there for people, and even when we don't know what the hell to say, it's important to understand how valuable simply being there can be. A hug, or hell, even a handshake or a high five, can mean the difference between someone's last day vs. just another a shit day. We owe it to ourselves to put down our judgemental tendencies and let people experience their life how they experience it. Our input means nothing when we aren't the main character. So, the next time you find yourself around someone who could use a fucking hug, be that person. Hopefully, if you're ever in that same situation, there's someone like you out there to reciprocate. SHUT UP AND HUG PEOPLE WHO NEED IT. - @joelfrieders⁠ .⁠ #egoproof #hugs #mentalhealthawareness #highfive https://www.instagram.com/p/Cei6SMMsuUq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
