masculinity as the protector-brave-strong stereotype waiting for you to follow but you are just love personified that your biggest strength comes from your own gentleness/kindness. Breaking the stereotype forcing to live under scrutiny but never once changing who you are.
You still lose, your still scared. And the realization that your life is about to change hits you. Childhood is over, you never got the chance to experience its peak.
when fear communicates grief. Knowing that what you knew, experienced, lived (as little as it was) never prepared you for what was about to happen. The subjection of masculinity as a weapon too big, too heavy and it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t change anything.
