I almost fell out of my chair laughing after I saw this video. Why? Because that’s me all day. I’m like that because I’m a guy.
Take for example the conversation I had with my brother about cars. I don’t know about my brother, but I can voice my thoughts about cars in a blink of and eye. I don’t even have to think twice about what I want to say. You can even say that I am passionate about cars. I like cars so much that I worked as a valet for over five years just because I like being in the driver seat.
Ask me about a specific car and I can break it down and tell you how many cylinders it has to the miles per gallon it produces. I can tell you how the suspension feels because most likely I have already driven it. That’s just how I am, yo.
Oh, but ask me to talk about something emotional and I will draw a blank. I panic trying to find the right words to explain how I feel. It might be odd, but I will start thinking about what I want to say, and then I think too much that I get lost in my own thoughts. One of the most difficult questions for me to answer is how does something or somebody make me feel.
It amazes me how easily women are able to express their feelings for and about the men in their lives. At and early age, girls are taught to listen to their emotions. Boys are taught that emotions are for girls, but I get emotional over things like music. I love music so much I want to marry it and have music babies. I can tell you where I was the first time I heard Deadmua5’s “I Remember” because it made me emotional. It gets me EVERY time.
I suck at it. I can’t speak on my emotions effectively. That’s why I’m attempting to express them through literature. What I have found to realize is that it’s not really a guy thing. Some guys are not affected by this inability. There are ones out there who know what to say and when to say it. I need to learn a thing or two from them.
