Crying should be done just as much as laughing..... life is about balance. Cry when you laugh, laugh when you cry. We're all too withholding with our emotions.
Cry hard, cry loud, cry in private, in public, cry when you need to cry. I spent decades of my life suppressing all my emotions and pretending to not have feelings at all! Unless something life altering and catastrophic happened, like a death, major fight/breakup, or nightmare panic attack, I just shut down. But in my late twenties and now early thirties I’ve opened up the floodgates and cry cathartically multiple times a week. Typing this out does sound like I’m unstable, and maybe I am, but crying is proven to help you self-soothe, recover from grief, detoxify, dull pain, and improve mood by releasing stress hormones. Crying and laughing and laughing until you cry and crying until you laugh. So if you feel a cry coming, don’t suppress it!!!
I cry everywhere. on the tube, on a walk, watching a movie, doom scrolling, people watching. i gotta laugh at how much I cry, and i gotta feel for those who cannot bring themselves to cry, guys it’s release!!!!!! It’s renewal!
