The longer I live, the more I realize that it wasn't really that long ago. I remember the reflection of my emotions. The abundance of anger and frustrations were built on losing something that I believed belonged to me. "Lately I've been trying to find my mind, I'm caught up because you're twice as fine." Belonging becomes such a reality for a lot of us when we are in jeopardy of losing something. Usually then, we tend to then begin to add new value to things(and some of the old value ;)). Suddenly when we find that this thing or person or place is either going to go or has gone, we achieve a unique point of consciousness. We see more, we hear more, we feel... more.
“Who do you belong to” is an emotional place that I still visit some days, but it isn’t the place that I once was. When I first visited the house of emotion that led me down the creation of the tune, it was a place of burning embers of passion, and immediate pain. A place once full of jarring memories and subtle verbs of regret and self abuse. The way that men feel is so different. So different, mainly because we tend NOT to talk about how we feel. We tend to conceal, protect, and resolve. But we end up conceding projecting, and dissolving. It is imperative and of great advocacy for men to let the world know that just as humans treat the expression of women with great delicacy, we must do the same to the emotions of men. Inquire, internalize, interpret, converse, and respect the perspective of us men. As our counterparts feel, so do we.
Who…do you... belong to?
