“The man who everybody depends on never gets to depend on anyone. He’s the one that gets the late light calls, the one who figures it out when there’s no money left, the one who holds it together when everybody else falls apart. The family leans on him, businesses lean on him, the relationship leans on him. And he carries all of it without complaint, because that’s what he was taught that a man does. But who does he call? Who checks in on him? Who asks how he’s holding up? Not because something went wrong. Just because he’s human and humans get tired. Nobody. Because the moment he shows fatigue people don’t comfort him, they panic. “Are you okay?”, “What do we do now?”. And be realizes they weren’t asking because they cared, they were asking because if he breaks, they break. His wellbeing isn’t their concern, his function is. So he stays quiet, figures it out alone. Again, he recharges in silence, because he learned a long time ago that his struggle makes other people uncomfortable. And it’s not because they’re heartless, it’s because they’ve never seen him without the cape on. They don’t know what to do with the superhero who’s tired. The loneliest place men can be isn’t alone, it’s being surrounded by people who need you and realize that not one of them actually knows you. If you got a man in your life who carries everything and never complains, don’t wait until he’s all empty to pour into him. Because by then, it’ll be too late.”
