Red strength
Why is it considered "manly" to be angry, but people will think less of a man if he expresses fear, doubt, or other "weak" emotions? I don’t feel safe letting people know how I feel inside, because I don’t want to be perceived as weak. But I can show my strength. And then I can hide everything else behind that.





This is a fabulous photo and such an honest post.
But please don’t hide all the time…

Wonderful photo!
Is the red glow from lighting or post-photo editing? Either way, it’s a great take on the theme.

Great portrayal of you in this one: inner and outer self revealed, glowing with warmth.

Warmth and fiery passion? Not a bit of anger. And totally defined. Very nice.
