Brotherhood

Generations were taught to hide the storm.
For centuries, men were told that feeling is weakness. Women were told the same – and punished for it. Tears, grief, joy, desire: all policed. Women’s hearts were called “too much,” men’s hearts were called “off-limits.”

The Garden After the War
Across the ages, we’ve played out this wound—the fall from Eden, the wars of gods and lovers, the burning of witches, the crucifixion of truth. But the myths are shifting now. The garden is not lost; it waits within us. Every healed heart is a seed, every honest union a bloom. We are rewriting the story of creation—not from power over, but power with. This is the new genesis.

He Stands Tall: A man who refuses to break
Every man carries battles that most will never see. Some are fought in silence, some are worn like armor, and some leave marks that never fade. Yet through it all, he learns to rise, to endure, and to shape himself into more than the world ever expected him to be.

A Story Beyond Stereotypes
M Mehran For centuries, the idea of what it means to be a man has been written in bold, unbending lines. Men were supposed to be strong, stoic, providers—the unshaken pillars of family and society. They weren’t meant to cry, to falter, or to admit weakness. But today, a quiet revolution is happening. Men are learning to rewrite their own story, one that embraces not just strength but also vulnerability, kindness, and authenticity.

The Strength in Silence: A Story About Men
M Mehran In the quiet town of Brookside, where mornings smelled of coffee and freshly baked bread, men were taught to be strong, to carry burdens without complaint, and to hide emotions behind stoic faces. Among them was Daniel Hayes, a man of thirty-two, whose life was a study in contradictions. To the outside world, he was the model of strength—successful at work, reliable at home, admired by friends. But behind the confident smile was a man wrestling with doubts, fears, and dreams he never voiced.

The Weight He Carried
M Mehran Daniel was the kind of man people described as “reliable.” He was the friend who showed up when your car broke down at 2 a.m., the brother who loaned money without keeping score, the co-worker who never missed a deadline. On the outside, he looked like he had it all together. Inside, though, Daniel carried a weight that no one saw.

We Can Make Something New
8/27/25 Studio 7 - First Hill, Seattle Hello Again, My twin sister visited last week but instead of making a plan we allowed her single day in Seattle to unfurl naturally ahead of us -- my dog and I met her at the airport light rail station before we meandered whichever way we wanted. It reminded me of what you said last summer, maybe when you were cleaning the apartment before your little brother was supposed to come up from LA: "I am free. When I want to go outside, I go outside. I don't need to be anywhere."

18 Year Old Me Would Be Proud
Honestly, this is not what I would have expected to write for my 500th article. It’s not a bad thing to write for my 500th article, especially considering that this milestone used to seem so far away. I actually had the original idea for this article two weeks ago, but I haven’t had the time to write it yet. I’ve held off publishing a few other things to save the spot for this to be my 500th, because for me, this is one of the most important articles I’ve written.
