It's Okay to be a man
But at that tender age when you bruised your Knee and felt like crying, you couldn't cause men don't cry.
It's Okay to be scared
But when dad travelled, he told you to protect your mom and sister. And when a snake creeps in, even when you haven't seen one before, you must act like you aren't scared and defend the home.
It's Okay to bottle up emotions
But do so and be seen as a rigid man
It's Okay to be emotional
But do so and be embarrassing or irritating
It's Okay to be gentle
But walk away from an unfavorable fight and be called a weakling
It's Okay to be depressed
But try leaving your marriage and risk losing more than half of what you worked your whole life for and probably never get to see your kids again .
It's Okay to get tired too
But stand up when your woman isn't satisfied and regret being a man
It's Okay to love your mom
But do it too much and become mummy's boy
It's Okay to love your wife
But express it too much and become a slave to your wife
It's Okay to admit you have a girlfriend
But say it to every girl you know and risk losing more than half of your female friends
You are super man to your kids, a hero to your spouse and a supplier to family. No wonder your first toy was a gun to show that you'll protect your whole life.
Whether you are a carpenter or not, you must find a solution to the door knob, whether you are a plumber or not, the kitchen sink must be sorted out, your neighbor shouldn't have electricity when you don't, you must find a way to make sure she can watch her favorite program by 10pm, you can't risk waiting till next morning to get it fixed.
You most probably won't get a new shoe till the old one gets bad. You don't even remember your birthday but don't dare forget her birthday even in your dreams.
It's Okay to be rejected for being broke
It's Okay to be insulted
It's Okay to live life for others
It's Okay to be a MAN
Nice one
