My mind keeps playing tricks on me. At times it feels as tho I'm imagining things: people, places, events, touches...Could it be? No. Maybe? Shit. I hate this feeling. It has overpowered all of my thinking processes (all two of them). What is going on? change of frequencies perhaps. This is NOT like me.
On the weekend, I went to NYC (will share all about it later). Talking to my girls, I realized how much pressure we put on ourselves. For what? As if I need extra. I love being a girl but this over-thinking-analyzing-self-loathing crap can be eliminated. Do boys over think things like this? I doubt it. This is way too complicated for no good reason.
Love being a girl, except for right now. What ever happened to girl bands that fueled girl power? Actually, lets leave those in the past. Will listen to Gwen Stefani instead.

The stability implicitly expected from us men can be as suffocating as the expectations of delicacy and refinement placed upon women.
ReplyDeleteMale common sense whispers kindness implies weakness. That decency and strength, sensitivity and intelligence, or faithfulness and independence are mutually exclusive. You are never both because by nature you cannot be both, so it lets us off the hook, sorry girls.
Male feelings can only be shown during the moment. The moment of the big touchdown, the drunken moment at the bar, or the intense moment of the orgasm. Anything else might expose too much of ourselves.
So while some of my breathren may adore the idea of it being a Mans World, I find that cold idea just as foreign and objectionable as most women. Imagine that.
Because in the end what seperates us humans, guys and girls, from the wild beasts is not how strong, guarded, stoic or manly humans can be. Instead, its the tears and laughter, love and pain, loyalty and unpredictably.
So maybe we need to stop reminding ourselves of the pressures to be distinctly masculine or feminine, with real or imagined differences, and just be.
Just be.
I'm impressed with your perspective. To be honest it gives me a sense of relief. Perhaps gender roles are not as determining as I once thought. I will try my best to just be. Good luck with your journey. keep me posted.
