Remembering how different life used to be. I’m often called “Miss Memory Lane” by my closest friends due to the fact that I always look at old photos hoping to relive the memory. But what I’m finally realizing is that I can’t and wouldn’t want to go back to that headspace ever again. So clouded and unsure about myself, my life, my privacy, my mental health. I’m finally in a position where I can say I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’ve accomplished so much with so little and my smile is finally not forced. I’ve taken control of my own life for the first time and won’t ever let anyone silence me or my passions ever again. I’m finally free. I’m successful. I’m independent. I’m still short but that won’t change lol. I think I’m funny even if others don’t haha. But most of all…I’m outspoken.
Don’t be afraid to seek help. There are so many people out there who put their jobs first and their mental health last…and trust me…it will creep up on you.”
— Colton Haynes, discussing how his mental health has improved over the years in an essay for PEOPLE magazine

Yup it’s true, mental health can really catch up with you, especially in this national climate of ignorance and stress aimed at gay people. A good therapist and Support groups are great. If we took care of our thoughts and emotions as well as we took care of our bodies imagine what shape the world could be in.
kudos to you for taking on a difficult sitch. I did it, I am out of the woods now and never felt better. I highly recommend great mental health care.

Mr. Haynes, at 5′ 9″ you are one half inch shorter than the US national average. I am not sure I would say you were short, but you are of average height. Given your incredible good looks and talent, I suggest being merely average in something, particularly as unimportant as height, is such a bad deal.

Is this repost/promo in response to a backlash to Mr. Haynes “I’ll show you my tits” IG post that of course was run here.

Queerty is the equivalent of British and American tabloids. Some information, some beefcake and some “stuff”.
It’s never going to change and maybe it’s time to take your negativity elsewhere.

@scotshot: Seriously. The whining and b!tch!ng gets VERY tiresome.
Kudos to Colton for raising mental health awareness by sharing his story.

He needs an entertaining hobby to take his mind off things and to focus on being in the moment having fun.
