In a recent video, popular Davao content creator Crist Briand was seen in tears—tears he openly described as tears of joy. It was a raw and honest moment, as he shared how the goodness he has received and the manifestations are now coming true. What made the moment even more powerful was his simple truth: it is okay to cry, even as a man.

Watching that video, we were reminded that strength does not always look loud or fearless. Sometimes, strength is vulnerability. Crist Briand showed that emotions are not a weakness, but a reflection of gratitude, humility and a genuine heart.

Despite facing bashers and criticism online, we have seen Crist Briand as a kind person—someone who chooses to stay true to himself. In a digital space where judgment is often quick and harsh but kindness remains a best choice.

We do not have the right to judge a person solely based on their content online. What we can choose instead is compassion. At the end of the day, we will never go wrong with kindness, because everyone is carrying a story we may never fully understand.

And in moments like these, Crist Briand reminds us that being real, being kind and being human is always enough.
