Men, it’s OK to be sensitive, caring, empathetic, loving, and humble. All of that is a strength, not a weakness. Right now dudes it’s time to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. I know it’s not easy, but good things in life are seldom easy. I just see the world is in need of a new sense of masculinity that is warm and welcoming to everyone. Of course, don’t let anyone take you for granted. I also think we need to have open hearts and bigger tables. That is just what I am thinking about today.
Most of what’s bad in the world is because of stupid old men.

I am secure in being a white man who knows that the world should not cater to me. Those days I hope have passed. Those men who think the world is their oyster should think again. So what if there are men who march to the beat of their own drummer and don’t fit the traditional roles.
The world has changed. It’s sad to see so many people who want to drag it back into a place. Those who aren’t men are forced to return to a time that was not full of opportunities and safety.
I would rather be a good human than a good man. Sometimes you can do both. In this world we live in, humanity is the most important thing.
Men have issues and struggle. Don’t believe otherwise. Be kind to yourselves, my brothers. Sisters, your support is always needed.
I hate being in earshot of a conversation about the failings of men. I’m not perfect but I hope I make an effort to be different. Still makes me feel like crap.
My friends it’s very human to be emotional. I hope you will be free to show that emotion. To the dudes out there I encourage you to be vulnerable and allow yourself to visit with things that make you feel whatever you need to feel. It’s more than OK my dudes to feel emotion.
Too many of us push stuff down and that includes me. During this holiday season let your guard down and do what you need to do in order to have a balanced life that includes emotions and expressions of such. Love and peace to you all.
Mental health matters for everyone especially for men.
