It's Okay To Cry

I no longer feel the same. My favorites movies, shows, sports, activities, hanging out with friends... it doesn't make me feel as happy as I used to. When did I become a robot, where are all of my emotions? Is it because I got older? Should I try to force myself to feel happier about my career with daily wins after doing a good job on my tasks?

Are my happiest moments lost in my memories, trapped in a time closer to back then instead of now? Maybe I will never experiences those same emotions as I did as a younger more ignorant version of myself. Growing up is TOUGH. I keep thinking about the past when I know I should look forward to the future.

I didn't sleep again. After holding it in for so long, I let the tears stream down my face. I finally felt a true high after I fell deep below the trenches. I cry out, vowing to shape a better tomorrow. If I experienced those treasured memories before, I can do it again. I won't mask my emotions any longer, I will embrace my frustration, my anger, my deep sadness as these feelings shape me into who I really am. My face is red and and a little damp, but, it feels like I have been saved by a tear, an angel gently caressing my soul. Please don't give up, when you are gone, you will find peace, until then, please remember that it's okay to cry.

Crying is okay for women but it's a display of weakness for men. Fuck mEnTaL hEaLtH and tOxIc mAsCuLiNiTy. Totally fine being sad or emotional but part of being a man is going through tough times/emotions without openly showing them. Best of luck to you OP on whatever you're going through but let's not normalize crying for men. Also please no one respond with any feminist bullshit

Looks like Andrew Tate made a WSO account after getting booted from all his other social platforms

 

That sounds very cool. Let me know when you plan to resign, I'll be happy to take your spot :)
