The Power & Joy of Crying (a glimpse into my healing journey)

I went to my college's "All Male Summit" last March. Needless to say I'm living it.

"All Male Summit" huh? That sounds like it could go either way really; what was the overall message/tone of that event? Your comment is just vague enough that I can't quite tell which "it" you're living, haha.

It was a large community college seminar that in essence basically went like Lauren Southern's YouTube video "What every girl needs to hear" but like a male version that points out ways for us guys to be just as (if not more than potentially) insightful, sensitive, flexible and approachable as women even to this generation like her are very easy to come by as (it's pretty obvious at this point how i feel about Lauren, but hey, at least i have a good role model that arrogantly eloquent geese such as myself don't even need to have rofl). I do get that crying and tears are a part of life, but even that is a given in its own kind of stereotype due to even complete idiots knowing already that its okay for dudes to just let it flow out (not everything is a cliche though, I'm just showing off my speculation skills here on out). Personally, as a Steemian whom could have easily gotten somewhere brilliant had he been posting articles since his account was established very early in the year (as opposed to consistent first blog posts since, eh, last week? Wow), i want to carefully suggest that you perhaps find other ways to enrich even the intentionally needed succinctness of your choices for topics, and no I'm not talking about explaining other emotions, how to cope or, again, other overrated aspects of sadness being refuted a channeling down your cheeks. I mean i am one to talk as i have very little experience with consistency in my writing (and thus using markdowns, pictures, videos, links, etc. In order to further enhance the comments alone that I've upgraded since being on Vidme as soon as i had THAT profile) so feel free to tell me what you think of my already lengthily response too!

I haven't watched Lauren's video, I'm not really a fan, but that sounds like a properly empowering & expansive seminar. Always nice to hear about such things being offered on a large scale.

I personally just write about what is present for me, what I'm processing at the time, or things that other people have asked me to touch on. The fact that Steemit has a financial aspect is purely a bonus to me, I just enjoy having an outlet & an audience, having people who really read my content and open conversations. I appreciate the input, but I'm not going to shift what I write about (any more than the constant shifting that's already there) unless it feels like what I need next.

Muy buen post, interesante

Saludos :)

Muchas gracias emily!
