to the guys.
have you ever been told to keep it in, bottle it up, push it down, ignore it and pretend you’re okay? well.. that’s not right. did you know you’re allowed to cry? you’re allowed to feel down? you’re allowed to feel emotions? allowed to be vulnerable? allowed to ask for help? it might not be something you believe at first, but just because you’re a guy, doesn’t mean you’re not human. who has the right to tell you those things? some people are just stupid. some people are just blind. some just don’t understand. but.. it’s not your fault, you know. you deserve happiness. you deserve love. you deserve comfort. you deserve safety. you deserve someone who cares about you. and this is coming from someone who’s not an optimist. i’m very aware of the real world. way too aware if you ask me. it’s a messed up world we live in. but just because you’ve been mistreated, doesn’t mean you deserve it. allow yourself to cry. allow yourself to feel down. allow yourself to feel emotions. allow yourself to be vulnerable. allow yourself to ask for help. because you’re only human after all. you don’t have to be alone. and by the way.. i’m proud of you for being here. it’s harder than many think, but you’ve come so far. i’m proud of you. really am.

Heya Meeva! Thank you for this very insightful post. A lot of men are often told what is and isn't manly by others and society as a whole. We should always remind people that there are many ways to express masculinity and that it isn't in a defined box. Many things that people say are not manly are just basic human traits. I'm proud of you for speaking out about this. Also, I really like the quote in your bio, "someone else’s problems being bigger doesn’t make yours smaller”. It's very true, no matter the size of a problem, it always matters. If it affects you, it matters. There will always be someone with a "bigger" problem, it's meaningless to compare them. A lot of people don't speak up about what's bothering them because they think that it's too "small" of a problem, which makes it much worse. We should always remind people that all of their problems matter. Thank you 💜
