Snap shot of a moment

As an only child one of the more difficult things to establish is friendships as opposed to acquaintances. In my path through life I've come across several acquaintances and have even been un-invited from circles of pressumed "friends". I realize now, many years later that it is those that allow me to be me without judgment that I can consider true friends, more so as an hombre that deals with gender privlige on the regular. As of recently I have been actively creating art with other men who are aware of their conciencia and are on the same path of male growth. We create our own sacred space where we can openly discuss our troubles and insights, heal from systematic perspectives that have been embeded into a mans psyche. It is a difficult process because it is constant, daliy and ever present, but when I am around these other males that have become part of my being, I realize that BECAUSE of these friends we will acheive our intended goal, because these individuals are more like brothers than they are friends, there are no masks only real talk and being an only child it is something I cherish dearly.
