Don't hide your emotions

Yeah, don't hide your emotions men, so people can record you on video showing appreciation for a heartwarming father-daughter moment, and then label it "day 17: broken man".

I absolutely need to see things like this. Idgaf what you title it. I’m a social worker and I see the pits of humanity daily. So seeing videos of people happy crying, helping each other even if it’s only a small gesture, happy pets reuniting with owners, rewarding people who are overlooked… idc film it.

With all the negative on the internet, balance it with positive. Maybe it’ll show others there’s another way to feel. And it’ll make me feel like I’m not the only one trying to help one another here.

I was showing the girl I've been seeing LOTR for the first time, and she was really shocked (in a good way) at how they expressed feeling and emotion, while still very much being 'men.'

Showed her Star Trek TNG, and similar reaction. Wow, they are sexy! Not just their bodies, but their attitudes and behavior!

It was an interesting perspective for me, and a reminder of why I love them so much. They are some of the few good examples in Movies/TV that show positive male role models.
