shed so many tears

they say a man ain't supposed to cry. i must be an exception to the rule then because sometimes i find myself shedding tears for things that have happened in the past, things that are currently happening and things that may happen in the future. why do people feel like men are invincible anyway? we have feelings too. honestly, i think that men's emotions are stronger than women's emotions. when we are in love, and i mean the real thing, we love really hard. if you break the wrong man's heart, he will do whatever possible to make your life a living hell because he wants you to hurt like he does. i admit from observation that sometimes men do tend to hide their feelings when they are around other men from fear of being called "soft" or "sensitive" but personally i don't live my life to please other dudes. if i feel like telling my girlfriend, my mother, my brothers, my father,other family members, or my friends that i love them, then i will do just that. if i feel the need to give my girlfriend a kiss, hey...you feel where i'm going with this?

but i want to be the first one to let men and everyone else know that there really isn't anything wrong with expressing ourselves, and crying is a natural emotion so why stigmatize something that has so much meaning? it's time for us to quit with all of the nonsense and just live our lives. it's time for us to be happy and not have to worry about what others have to say. it's time for usto take control over our own lives because if we let others define who we are, then we will never have any sense of character and we will continue to be a dust mat for those who choose to walk all over us. just think about it. if all hearts and minds are clear...

peace and love
