I don’t know how they do it
But from the stories i have heard
They wish it would be different
Not all of them though
Because some have been clouded by societal beliefs
That a man is a tough species
He ought to stay tough and incase he breaks down
That’s a sign of weakness
My only question to them is, where do they take these emotions?
Some say they realize they project them in certain ways which are harmful to them and those around them
For others they develop coping mechanisms that end up harming them in the end
While others believe its just the path of a man in life and there’s nothing they can do about it
Its always said, a problem shared is a problem half solved
What i would wish for them is to come out boldy
Yes, it might take a while majorly because of the societal beliefs
But they need to be reminded that it doesnt make them less human if they share, if they become vulnerable or if they cry
Nobody is happy walking around with a buggage
Therefore the narrative needs to change
A man can be vulnerable
A man can open up and share his dark moments
A man can boldly seek help without judgement
A man cannot know what to do and thats okay
A man can shed a tear and thats okay
Because not okay is okay
