STOP: You’re Trying Too Hard.
You’re good enough, I promise!
If you express joy, or grief, or empathy, you will still be a man (if that’s what you want to be).
You don’t have to be a man if that isn’t right for you.
Sure, there are men and women in the world, but there are also a million other genders. In fact, every person in the world has their own unique gender.
Just for today, try not to judge yourself or others by an unachievable standard of masculinity. You may find that your interactions are more genuine, and that you are able to have more compassion and acceptance for yourself.
