You know...I'm a lot more like you than you probably think. You think I don't get pissed or display some aggression? The truth is, I do, and like a lot of things I do, I do it quite well. Here is the major difference though, it is that I try to not rush to judgement, I try to not quickly over react, I try to not put myself in positions where someone will get hurt by my words. You see, I'm not like most guys in the sense that I actually give a shit about not hurting someone, especially the ones I care about. I even try to tell myself to think before I speak, not just say things that justify me while pointing out the insecurities of someone to simply make my point. That's petty. That's not me. But being passionate and caring and sometimes overtly sensitive...yeah, that's me. You see, I don't need to be aggressive, mean, or even insensitive to make myself know what passion is, I simply go about it with an open mind and let myself feel it like a real fuckin' man does. Sometimes that gets me into trouble, heart-wise and head-wise, but if I've learned anything about myself it's that I wouldn't change me just like I wouldn't want to change anyone I love. I've learned a ton, and I owe it all to how I've felt and how I've reacted. I think I know enough now to know that how you react is not conducive to how you handle everything, but it is a testament to your character. In the face of adversity, strife, pain, loss, etc. how did you fare? Did you "man up" and control yourself, say the things that needed to be said whilst keeping respect for yourself and the others involved as well, maybe letting your aggression and mean streak be an asset but not a definition if who you are, OR were you the insensitive, fly-by-night, bury-it-all person who could never satisfy the deeper needs of your woman. You want aggression? This is aggression... Fuck those other guys.
Those guys that stay in their closed off comfort zones, who vaguely comprehend the physical, dilute the mental, and selfishly avoid the emotional aspects of any type of relationship. Am I perfect? Fuck no, not by a long shot. But I can say, honestly, there isn't another guy out there that is as man as me, that knows how and when to put himself aside because someone else needs him, there is no one who knows how to sacrifice, satisfy, please, and respect his woman better than me, and there is damn sure no one else as aggressive as I am when it comes to loving the people I love. No One! Some call it cockiness, I'll call it truth. Part of discovering yourself is comprised of 3 things; realizing your only human and you have flaws, discovering that being you is enough and loneliness isn't the end of the world, and finally relishing how fuckin' fantastic you are. A real man is in touch with every emotion he has and he displays them but never let's them rule him. He doesn't succumb to those that are weaker and want to bring him down. He simply does what he does and keeps being himself, keeps being the solid rock of dependability, and proving everyone wrong. That is basic character. And In the end, it's character that will define us.
