Being a Man

I suppose to realize the struggles of being a man, you need to know what I think the definition of a man is.  I'll give it my best shot.

Taking care of you and your people
Not being afraid to be yourself
Realizing that life isn't just wealth
Having respect for the opposite sex, treating them as they should be
Opening doors, pulling out chairs..... letting them know you care
Showing the world it can not keep you down
Even if you are struggling with your knees on the ground
Praying that one day you will astound
Not just friends and family but people you meet daily
Being a man is being able to admit your mistakes
Being a man is getting it done, by doing as much as it takes
Knowing that you are not perfect but your imperfections are the things that make you who you are
Being comfortable that you're not going to be a rock star
Not being afraid to cry, not being afraid to die, not being able to lie
Relinquishing the fear that you've carried always behind your eyes
Showing love to all, especially those you show it to you
Being a man.... being a man is just being true.


I can only hope that I am able to do all of these things soon.  The easiest of them, the hardest of them.

Just wanted to let you know what I think a Man is so you can understand "The struggle", if any they go through.

But my next couple blogs are going to be like this..... The struggle of a man..... mowing the lawn, on acid, buying condoms with his girlfriend and other ridiculous and fun topics.
