I put on the mask to fit in, but it didn’t fit

When belonging costs you yourself, It isn’t belonging. It's surviving
Healing is removing the mask - slowly, safely, truthfully.

The masculine idea of John Wayne is trauma-inducing myth
Faux manliness isn’t strength Emotional suppression isn’t courage
The myth of unbreakable manliness has buried too many men
Real strength feels. Real strength heals.
