“Touching her fingers, touching skin to skin. Her mouth, her breath, the shape of her flushed face. A tender hand on a naked waist, exploring the new feelings. The inner-soul scent of her hair, burying your mind in it. Inside of me, always inside of me. Memorizing the feelings and perfumes. Something one can keep. Carmen thought, Trust… Something growing. Something true. Something reaching out.”

“Touching him was always so important to me. It was something I lived for. I never could explain why. Little, nothing touches. My fingers against his shoulder. The outsides of our thighs touching as we squeezed together on the bus. I couldn't explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love? Why does anyone ever make love?”

“Touching the face of the wind, dark wings flex and ease. They read the wisps of clouds forming above them, the dark heaves of mountains below. Now the sudden bounce of a thermal, now the yank of a downdraft, The birds of my mind tilt and swing as I lie in the blue bus, until finally, their taut wings bank up against the wind and they streak out of my head, peeling off one by one, like canoes that have been pointing upstream, arcing back into the roll of the river.”

“Touching these English colonies, I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do not say of them or of America that they have not a future, or that they will not be great nations. I merely deny the whole established modern expression about them. I deny that they are "destined" to a future. I deny that they are "destined" to be great nations. I deny (of course) that any human thing is destined to be anything. All the absurd physical metaphors, such as youth and age, living and dying, are, when applied to nations, but pseudo-scientific attempts to conceal from men the awful liberty of their lonely souls.”

“Tough girls come from New York. Sweet girls, theyre from Georgia. But us Kentucky girls, we have fire and ice in our blood. We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin. And if we have an opinion, you know youre gonna hear it.”

“Tough love and brutal truth from strangers are far more valuable than Band-Aids and half-truths from invested friends, who don’t want to see you suffer any more than you have.”

“TOUGH MEN DON'T CRY -Dr Gorakh Bobde The world has always created a fallacy about men being tough and that "THEY DON'T CRY." Tears is often considered a sign of weakness, that emotions are a liability, and that machoism is defined by stoicism. However, the reality is that suppressing emotions does not make a man stronger it makes him vulnerable to mental health struggles, relationship failures, and severe irreparable long-term consequences on mental health. Tough men do not have to be emotionless machines. Tough men feel, and tough men cry when challenged with certain situations. Crying is not a gender based emotional weakness but a psychology release mechanism response to pain, grief, stress or when we are overwhelmed by emotions. When we "bottle up" our feelings. This forced emotional silence is heavy and harmful. Though on the surface everything looks calm but it's under currents are felt deep within, It's like carrying a alive volcano inside. When we cannot express pain through tears or any other emotions they may mask it with anger or aggression and our emotional imbalance. Allowing men to cry is not about making them less masculine, it is about allowing them to be fully human. "Tough men" do not have to be emotionless machines. Tough men feel, and Tough men cry when life seems very hard on them. It is important to understand that expressing emotions is a sign of strength, not weakness, contrary to outdated societal pressures and flawed reasoning. So next time if you feel like crying, Cry out loud, don't bottle up emotions and feelings. Remember, Strength isn’t just about what you carry. It’s knowing when to put it down, Just because it ain't feeling heavy now, don't carry unnecessary emotional luggage for a lifetime. TOUGH MEN DO CRY, that's OK !!”
