My thoughts

Crying

Okay so I wanted to talk about crying.

People say that if you cry, you are weak. And that 'cool' people don't cry.

But...

That's not true.
In fact, you are strong when you cry.

Because crying shows emotions. When you cry, probably something hard happened. You are hurt. You need time to process it.

Sooo

If you cry, you let your emotions in. You are facing your problems. You are not running away from them. You accept your feelings.

You are controlling them, you are healing.

And that doesn't make you strong?

It does.

People who don't cry, run away from their emotions. They don't want to face it, they pretend they're fine.
That's the easiest.

I'm sorry guys, but I just think THAT is weak.

Okay but wait a minute...

Are there really people that don't cry at all?

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that all people cry.

But most people do it in private.

That's also something that makes you strong when you cry IN PUBLIC.

You simply make yourself vulnerable.

We live in a society where that is actually not possible. It should be. But it isn't.

When you cry in public, you show people how you feel.

You show them that you're not feeling good BUT that you're healing.

You are not to afraid to show yourself. You are not afraid of what people think of you.

And because of that, you are strong.

Crying is still a taboo.

But we should make crying normal, because it IS normal.

Okay after all this, there are even more positive things about crying.

I have listed them here:

1. Crying relieves stress.
2. Because of crying you can let go of
     your emotions and move on.
3. Sometimes we don't feel good but
     we don't know why. Crying can
     clear up those things.
4. Crying is even good for your body!
     If you cry, your body protects you
     from bad bacteria.

So

Stay strong and CRY when you need to
