Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of West Coast Milblogger. I’m your host Cyrus Emerson. Right now, it’s 86-degrees in Tampa and it feels like 95-degrees.

The Need to Be Strong: The Reasons Why Men Don't Discuss Their Emotions
Are you a girl? Why are you crying?! Boys don't cry, they are meant to lead the family and be the bearers of the family. Our society has conditioned both men and women about the way they should react and behave to be deemed normal and acceptable in a social setting. It is harrowing to see societal standards and perceptions of how both genders should act and lead their lives, impacting individuals to embrace their authentic light and nurture their needs and wants.
