This is a really amazing, sincere, authentic, raw and vulnerable piece. It is so heartening and refreshing to read such words coming from a man, as it truly breaks down walls and stereotypes that have needed to be broken for a long time now.

Thank you for opening this up, and opening yourself up here @joekou, you are an inspiration and a role model for men (and women!), and have given some very practical and sound advice about how to make relationships work... start with self. Very cool indeed!
