The kind of man I want to be

Not the loudest. Not the cleverest. Just someone who stays soft without apology.

I don’t want to be the man who wins.

I want to be the man who listens.

Who notices how you take your tea, and when you fall quiet, and how you tuck your thoughts away before you speak.

I want to be the man who stays soft in a world that rewards sharp edges.

Who chooses tenderness without apology.

Who makes you feel seen, not performed for.

That’s it.

That’s the goal.
