Today I cried. Like most days, but today I know why.

It& #39;s good to cry. Please know that I KNOW this. I cry to cleanse. I need to. Life is fucked. I& #39;m handling more than I though I could at work alone. The divorce part is more. Co-parenting is more.

I& #39;m never ashamed to cry.

I have to or I& #39;d lose my mind.

My soul& #39;s tired from so many wars and all the fronts I fight on. Please know I& #39;m venting & know you& #39;re here. I never question it. I know how many would help. I love you for it.

I& #39;m putting this out here bc I heard someone say I should "be a man".

Guess what? Being a man means being complete. Knowing crying is okay, that being masculine is okay, that feeling vulnerable is HUMAN. Anyone who comes at me for being any of this is someone I pity.

Toxic masculinity is a curse. Break free. I& #39;d rather be "a human" than "a man".
