Men …
be
considerate. kind. strong. present. and willing. sweet to your fellow brother.careful with your words. honest with your feelings. lean into fear, growth, and new definitions. place value on your character instead of things. set an example with action, not words. work hard on emotional tools and the ability to create safe spaces for people you care about, knowing that gift is priceless and lacking in this world. be less reactive. work hard but not hard enough to forget the people you love, including yourself. calm the f*ck down. be slow to anger. fast to forgiveness. respect women. do things alone. love yourself. always fuel your passion whatever they may be. don’t talk about yourself all the time. listen to others and their stories. use “I” statements. communicate well. love your parents. don’t gossip. look at your shortcomings. think before you speak. look people in the eye. have a firm handshake. hug other men. cook. clean. smile more. be open. figure shit out on your own. fix things around the house. stop complaining or whining. care less about money. eat carbs. go on trips. build something.
