🫂DON’T CRY...

Good morning, dear reader.

Today, let’s reflect on a phrase we’ve heard far too often throughout our lives:
“Don’t cry…”

Don’t cry…

They’re told from a young age.

“Men don’t cry…”

They’re reminded day after day.

“Crying is for girls…”

They’re told again and again.

And they, obediently, begin to suppress their feelings
and swallow every tear.

But in the end, men cry too.

It’s hard for them to break free from those commands,
it’s hard to peel off those old armors,
but when their soul is shaken —
men cry too.

They cry for the loss of their mother...
For the absence of their father...
For the women they have loved...
For every person they’ve lost...
For betrayals and disappointments...

Maybe you won’t see them cry.
Maybe they won’t cry in front of their children.

Nor in front of their partner.

But when fear tightens its grip,
when money runs out,
when friends disappear...
when strength fades...

In silence and hidden away...

Men cry too.

Sending you a hug from the heart… and don’t forget to share.
