We all crazy

Dear Men,

I know so many of you believe that "b*tches be crazy". And I agree that there are indeed a large group of them that are. However, I am not one of them. Very often, what you chalk up to being "crazy" is often our reactions to your own behaviors. Which, to be fair, can also be very crazy and disturbing to us. You hide your true feelings in an attempt to be manly, and "maintain face". We are left bewildered and hurt.

Everything I've just said makes us all human. However, I believe in honesty and communication. Even when it hurts. Even when it hurts you. But it's usually something that needs to be said. The hurt lasts only a short time, at least for me. I don't hold grudges. I don't lament and ache for a long time. Eventually, I become matter-of-fact about whatever happened between us (or in most cases, didn't). I can talk about it all, including my hurt and heartache, without being freshly upset.

That doesn't mean there's no pain inside. It's not aimed or caused by one man alone. It's a series of events, a pattern, a flow of thought from within. Sometimes, we have beaten ourselves down. Sometimes we have allowed ourselves to be beaten.

In this day and age of communication at everyone's fingertips, why does it seem so hard to just say what we mean, and mean what we say? Why must we speak in riddles and make confusing choices--which may have made sense, had an explanation been given.

What I mean to say is...Men, if b*tches be crazy...it takes one to know one.
