From the days of my youth i was told what it means to be a man...  now I've reached that age I try to do all those things the best I can. no matter how i try i find my way to the same old jam.  Its so true,  we're becoming the people we are now from the time we first open our eyes in this world.  we begin forming relationships and emotions, fears and behaviors before we even realize.

in today's world what it means to be a "Man" is much different than it was.    I look at the lessons I learned and how they created a flawed and self destructive " man" i was at times.  How I overcame it and continue to grow today.
