i am beyond grateful that my parents taught me the importance of crying at a young age. seeing my dad break his facade of unflinching masculinity made me realize it was okay for me to feel outwardly, no matter what it was that i felt flowing through me. today i am so happy to be able to cry in the same capacity in which i laugh and love and yearn and hurt. i know crying is a prerequisite for living but it seems that lots of people forget it’s catharsis and the fact they came into this world doing it.

🥲Truly wish someone would have told me years ago it’s okay to cry when the feelings hit—why hold that shit in? Let it flow!

💧This was something that started when I began healing. I cry every day out of gratitude or beauty. I cry when something is sad. I don't feel ashamed.
When I was young, I learned to hide my emotions away. I never cried in front of people if I could help it. Now I let my emotional freak flag fly.

😭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!!!

🚶walking is such a healing activity when you don’t have to be anywhere, just one foot in front of the other until you feel good
