This comment was by Tommy in reference to the post – Interactive Quote of the DayâTrue Definition of Masculinity
Laying in my own skin comfortably means just that, being comfortable with who I am. I donât mean being comfortable in spite of who I am, but BECAUSE of who I am.
I am a man with diverse emotions, insecurities, flaws, strengths, desires, etc. and I own those. I may be trying to change the negative and promote the positive that is within me but I am who I am because of those things. I do believe the culture has shamed men for being open to sharing their emotions and be sensitive and I say âTO HELL WITH THAT!â
My girlfriend loves me for showing the deepness of who I am and she doesnât run from it … she embraces it and that encourages me to embrace it as well. I donât want to ramble but those are my thoughts
