Crying

Amen!

Society wants us to think that crying is a sure sign of weakness. But the quote above is true...and if that's not the reason, perhaps like me, you cry when you're angry. Got to release that emotion somehow and I try really hard not to hit things (or people)! Or maybe you have had your feelings hurt...it does happen...not always intentionally, but sometimes carelessly, sometimes unknowingly. Or maybe you're sad, from memories...thinking of someone you've lost...through moving, or failed friendship, or death; or because something you wanted desperately didn't turn out the way you planned. Could be unrequited love...and not just romantically, but maybe a person you felt you could trust, sacrificed your trust...then again it could be a broken heart...most all know how that feels.

When you see someone crying, don't always assume they are weak, or that you know the reason. But don't be afraid to reach out...you may not know what to say but that doesn't really matter...what they probably need most of all is just to be held...and that is something all of us can do!
