“The worst thing I can tell you is to be a man.

Be a man means man up, act tough, take it like a man, have no emotions, make sure to lead, dominant, never submit, be strong, suck it up and don't you dare cry because it's a sign of weakness.

When in truth, it takes courage to cry; faking a smile is easy.

I tell my man to cry, and I will cry with him; laugh, and I will laugh with him; yell, and I will yell on top of the roof with him, we will rebuild even if we lose everything.

He knows not to "be a man" around me other than himself.”
