I used to think men were emotionless sacks of flesh until recently.

Not a feminist by any definition, by the way. Just a woman that grew up and surrounded herself by a certain type of male that is incapable of having drive, passion and any non rational way of showing emotion.

These last couple of years I was proven wrong. Getting reacquainted with old friends and enjoying conversations with a person that I think of as my brother has proven to me that men have emotion. And can express it. Not afraid to show tears. Let their passion pour. Have a drive for what they want that they are relentless.

I will never take a man like that for granted.

I want my son to be like that. He is like that at his young 4 years. I just need to encourage and teach him to keep it.
