we don’t cry that much and in fact it is quite rare to cry. people never see you cry and they don’t even think that you do cry. crying is looked at in society as bad and sad and weak and vulnerable. we are always taught to be strong and not to cry – which is fine most of the time.
But – crying is needed every once in a while. Things can build up over time – the stress of life, etc – and then a trigger will set it off – a sensitive event – usually something with family sets it off and then you just have to let it go. You can then get all of your frustration out – it becomes a healthy, healing event – you see it as a good moment – a much needed moment. People will be shocked but that is ok – they see you as a human being with feelings – don’t be embarrassed – just embrace it.
crying is a restart button – a refresh button – a part of life that we don’t realize we need. but we do need to cry – it’s ok – cry and start again.
