He's going to go into the witness protection program Hey, gonna get shot immediately He's got a six nine on his forehead. Um, he's got the saw guy On the tricycle on his cheek So those of you who are like me and you didn't know who takashi six nine was let me break it down for you As best as I can So anyways, he he was a rapper who like ruse rose to fame pretty pretty quickly I don't know if he started out on soundcloud or what but he got pretty popular All right, and he's done collaborations with people like nicky manage and some other people And like he's he's from I believe new york and like he's been gang affiliated and all these other things Anyways, there were some charges like brought up against him about possible, you know, um sexual misconduct with like a minor and everything like that But recently as of a few months ago He was charged with things like racketeering and all these other things, right And he was facing a lot of jail time Well, most recently it came out that He is ratting out people to reduce his sentence and they're gonna send him into witness protection program But anyways, I don't know if you guys watch uh, chris dealia, but His talks about takashi six nine on his podcast are absolutely hilarious between the way he purposely mispronounces his name To his impressions of him ten kashi place nine was kabalashi sam fine Sibachi fanbine takashi six nuns takushi six nine senkashi six nine takansi kriplanshi Kriplatchi sam fine Kriplanshin 75 why are you so mad? Kromplut she takes nine Tinkamchi six nabins. Oh, yeah, it's takashi saps nine But anyways witness protection is not gonna go for very well for takashi six nine But as I've gotten older and I look back at like my days of like my addiction and even high school and things Like that like I can I can relate to takashi six nine I think all of us can just maybe not to that extent right like what are we willing to do to look cool or fit in like If I look back to like my childhood I think it was like middle school when my friends like pressured me into like smoking a cigarette And I did it because I want to be cool with them Um back in high school when I tried pat for the first time I did it because I wanted to look cool But I also remember just walking around like trying to act cool And this is a problem that a lot of men face too like trying not to show your feelings or emotions because you want to look Like the tough guy right and so much of what we do is Based on how we want others to perceive us right and depending on which crowd we want to go in And this is an issue that a lot of people struggle with when they lack of sense of self Like I I talk about how I used to be like a social chameleon And I know a lot of people have struggled with this where we change depending on who we're with right So like for example, I I played sports in high school So when I was with the jocks, I could be a jock But anyways, I was also like a computer nerd so I can hang out with the computer geeks I was also a gamer so I can hang out with the kids who love video games You know, I was into like, you know, certain types of music So I can hang out with like the emo kids or you know The golf kids or whatever it was and I was constantly changing and losing my sense of self And for the most part me losing my sense of self and trying to be cool and trying to fit in Like all I did was cause me more pain and harm Like that's one of the things that like was really detrimental to my mental health And then like what happens is when we're not accepted by other people It makes us feel even worse, right? And like we have to ask ourselves like what are we willing to do? Like how far are we willing to go just to be accepted by other people? What's wrong, man? Nobody's gonna learn too. There's gonna be another rapper That just does the same It's kind of it's I guess it's sad at what point is it not sad anymore? And then it's just like you're doing it to yourself a lot of guys have had f***ed up lives And you still you make it dude and you're on the straight and narrow, but this guy dude So I actually see this or saw this come up a lot at you know the rehab I was working out for you know a few years like and I would do groups with people and In every single group like rehab Rehab is kind of like high school. All right So you have like kids who are paying attention and you know really studying and taking notes And you have like the the class clowns and you have the cool kids you have the disruptive ones and all that You know and I I can definitely relate to obviously working in a rehab center because I'm a recovering addict But like sometimes I had to give them some real talk Especially on days when I would get phone calls and somebody passed away from an overdose or whatever But you would have the cool kids in treatment, right the ones who are just acting cool the entire time Just like way too cool for this treatment thing and when it comes to you know Addiction like this is a life or death situation and I would constantly remind them that like something I would always tell them is like I was like you need to quit Focusing on how cool you look to a bunch of other people in rehab Because just to let you know when you get out of here We don't have a yearbook and write down like coolest person in rehab That's not how this thing works. It is life or death But I saw this happen many many many times with people in rehab as well Where they would like act super cool the whole time or they would joke around and mess around not pay attention to anything Or they'd be like flirting with the girls or the girls would be flirting with the guys Or you know, whatever it was and they would completely neglect everything happening in treatment And not only would you uh see a high rate of relapse after they left But you would see them doing things in the name of being cool while they're in there Like sneaking in drugs, right? Tormenting their therapist and all sorts of things and then They would get kicked out and then they would be begging to come back into treatment And I just you know, I would sit there and think because like as a recovering addict and someone who's You know working on you know depression and anxiety and you know My childhood issues and all these things on a regular basis. I have to learn from these people too I'm like how much am I willing to sacrifice just so some other people think I look cool, right? And we're seeing it with takashi 69 like this is something that you know You see a lot just in kind of like, you know street life and things like that Like you need to like a lot of people do it as a survival instinct Like you need to find a group to fit in with like whether it's you know So you feel safe or you so so you feel protected or whatever But that's what also makes it very difficult for people to detach from that Because they're afraid of what other people are going to think or how they're going to be perceived or whatever But with takashi 69 you see this like to an extreme Like I remember watching takashi 69. I'm like really dude like really you look really cool But like what's this doing to your life, you know, and what's what's he's doing to your child? What's this doing to other people? What's this doing to your family because something that he's dealing with right now Is going into witness protection. He has to worry about his family. He has to worry about his child Like I think his son's uh, or his child's mom. I don't know if he has a son or a daughter She came out and she talked about how like She she's scared now Based on what he's done. So I really want you to sit back and think about that like Are you are you trying to look or act a certain way and how is that affecting you? How is that affecting your mental health? You know what I mean? Because for me what I eventually had to do was Learn who I was Learn what you know these values these morals and who I wanted to be in life was and then the rest of it Didn't matter. You know what I mean? Like that's not to say, you know, like when I get you know, a new job or I meet new people or whatever Like I'm not going to try to befriend them and fit in with them and all those other things But I have to work on like, you know, not Not trying like overly trying because I can affect my mental health which then in turn affects my sobriety You know and I think this is something that naturally comes along with age You know what I mean? That's why we can see like older people like like older people like retired and stuff like that Like they just stopped caring. They just literally stopped caring about what anybody thinks about them and think Think about that freedom you have. You know what I mean? But anyways, we can have a conversation down in the comments below like let me know if if you trying to fit in Has affected your mental health. All right.
