Feelings were not for me—no way! Now, I can say ‘I love you’ to my partner, have meaningful conversations, and finally feel understood. Women used to be so complicated to me before, a constant challenge due to my reluctance to give them enough… I decided to be a man, a man brave enough to confront myself. I had avoided this for so long, thinking it would make me weak to connect with my feelings. You know what I mean, don’t you? That sense is gone now. I realize I’m like a rock, unbreakable, regardless of the feelings that arise. I’m solid, and you can lean on me too. I believe she appreciates this newfound strength in me the most now.

– Happy me
