“Be like water”
said late Bruce Lee. It's the secret of being gentle yet formidable
as a force.
if I were to become anything as such, I think it's the good old air teh right now lol. You add sugar and tea powder (not in tea bags) to hot water, stir to golden yellow and you get yourself classic air teh. But it's full of fine bits of tea leaves- without a sieve u need to wait for the tea powder to completely settle at the bottom then only u can enjoy the clear liquid, sir or pour to a cup or whatever.
That kinda reflect the innerworkings of men, or at least yours truly. I can relate in the sense that we can have sound mind with the task at hand, until we find ourselves in an event that stirs our head in the wrong way, bringing unwelcomed emotions that lay quiet back up and cloud our clear conscience. How to teabag these and go unfazed by any stirring is another challenge.
sometimes i get riled up to myself for having these mental hissy fits. I figured out an adult male approaching the coveted 30 ought to have better control of his train of thoughts and I, had to chase em all the time. Let alone to navigate steadily through the tidings of the mind, lel such a confused mess. Altough all battle is contained inside and no stray bullets got away to crack the surface, dialectics is needed so that no beans is spilled- the proof is this very blog, where glimpses of the chaotic episodes got etched in questionably cohesive words. If it’s an attempt to figure things out- then why every post felt like revealing weaknesses? It is quite upsetting
But but but this idea of not spilling beans for the sake of male pride, and being so secretive about personal issues, and not admitting emotional vulnerabilities- it is toxic masculinity isn’t it?
