It doesn’t matter if you are mentally unwell. If you have been abused younger and are struggling. It doesn’t matter if you are potentially neurodivergent and maybe learn a bit differently. It doesn’t matter that as a boy you had dreams and you maybe aren’t so financially focused and more focused on pursing your passions. If your health is good for yourself it is a waste. You must prioritize your whole being for the sake of a society that will leave your corpse in the dust. For men who see you as profit. For women who can see you as a security blanket. If you are unwell it’s only a product of your weak thinking. Not a systematic problem of a society that wants to take advantage of everyone for profit. You need to be more “stoic”. Stay shut more often but also express yourself fully for partner. Turning off the negative parts of yourself fully but keeping on the positive selves as service to everyone around you. If you bring up this unfair dynamic you are told you aren’t fit to be a leader or in a relationship. You eat this dynamic over and over until you are only a small shell of yourself or you let the void call you home. The irony of society wanting men to express themselves fully but only if it’s what they want to hear. I won’t engage in this. Even if I am alone. I won’t abandon the little boy that resides in my heart. And I won’t let others abandon theirs either. We are worth something even if people say we aren’t.
