We teach boys silence, then wonder why men struggle to speak.
He cries on stage. The world claps. The woman he loves holds him.
But rewind his life…
“Why are you crying?” “Boys don’t cry.” “Don’t cry like a girl.”
So when did crying become acceptable? Only after success? Only on a stage? Only when a woman gives permission?
Men don’t cry because they are weak. They cry because they finally feel safe.
And if a man cannot cry with you, it’s not because he doesn’t feel. It’s because he was taught love comes with silence.
Boys who are allowed to cry grow into men who can feel, regulate, connect, and lead.
Boys who are shamed for crying grow into men who struggle silently.
Let boys cry. So men don’t have to break quietly.
