Met someone recently who was so secure in himself and his masculinity that you could immediately tell he was raised in a healthy environment. There was no performative toughness. Just calm confidence, emotional stability, kindness, and ease within himself.
More emotionally secure men please.
My brother has Down syndrome. He is thirty four and he bags groceries at the same store he has worked at for sixteen years. He knows every regular by name. Last year a new manager transferred in and started cutting his hours. Said he was too slow. Said customers wanted efficiency. My brother came home confused and quiet. He kept asking what he did wrong. He did nothing wrong and telling him that did not fix the hurt in his face. Then something happened I still cannot talk about without crying.

not dating to marry, not dating to separate, but a secret third thing (dating to enjoy being with a someone you're compatible with for as long as you both enjoy each other, no matter if that's months or years or the rest of your lives)
The woman I’m dating stayed over one night.
The next morning, she got out of bed, stepped onto my bedroom floor, and let out this little yelp.
“Ow… your floor is freezing cold.”
Then she laughed and tiptoed all the way to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
I just stood there watching her.
I didn’t say anything.
But I remembered it.
The following week, I bought a soft little rug and placed it on her side of the bed.
Right where she always gets up.
A few days later, she stayed over again.
I spent all my life believing I would get an education so that one day I can sit in boardrooms and make decisions that would change people’s lives, little did I know that it would be the streets that help me to do that… and today as we fight to reclaim our country…
I’m reminded that in January of 2026, we spent TWO weeks outside Addington Primary School protesting for the rights of South African children to get an education in their own country because they had been excluded by their own government while accomodating children of foreigners! A pain I will never forget seeing our own children being made to spend their days at the beach just to pass time while other children were receiving an education. A clear sign that the system is broken, the system doesn’t care about a South African child and the amount of sympathy we are seeing now was not even in the least bit extended for the children of South Africa when they needed it, it is so sad!
Today is not about Today, it is about the Future of South Africa and as we take to the streets, let us remember that this is not an opportunity to destroy our country but it is an opportunity to press the RESET button, rebuild and allow the People of South Africa to be prioritised in their own country without feeling apologetic about it or fear being labelled as hateful… today is NOT ABOUT MIGRANTS but it is about the people of SOUTH AFRICA … Today is not the end but it’s only the beginning ✊🏻🇿🇦❤️ Until we win
According to psychology, the urge to immediately fix a partner’s or friend’s distress instead of just sitting with them in it isn't empathy; it is your own low frustration tolerance. When someone you love is hurting, and you instantly jump into problem-solving mode, offering unsolicited advice or trying to find a silver lining, you are often trying to soothe your own secondary anxiety. You aren't rescuing them from their pain; you are rescuing yourself from the discomfort of witnessing a vulnerability you don't know how to hold.
