I generally don’t cry often, so my tears somehow feel like a precious resource. A resource I like to spend on beautiful words, or hard thoughts, or collections of music and images that make me feel something.
I cried at the end of a really good book last night. It felt like paying homage to the author, to the story of suffering that had been told. An acknowledgement of the hardship and triumph told over just a few hundred pages.
Or the other week, I cried because I realised how hard it is for me to ask for help, and I allowed myself to mourn that loss - the opportunities for connection, for honesty, that I don’t even allow people that are close to me to make. I wrote about three pages in my journal about those years, because I know I want to change that about myself. I can be sad about it, but I still want to move on.
The point is, I hope you let yourself cry sometimes, because I think there is something in everyone’s life that deserves a few tears every now and then.

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.

I am not a very emotional person especially compared to my close friends who cry often and share their life and struggles to me this year something happened to me that got me very sad and I cried hard for a long time that day, I had felt like a dam broke in my mind and all of a sudden I began to cry over everything (tiktoks, stars, little women) when I reflect on this, I feel sad that my happiness has seemingly decreased, however(!) I now feel much happier and healthier because I am letting out my emotions rather than keeping them to myself I also have come to love the sensation of crying. it's a fun and interesting state to be in physically and mentally and it's really kinda cool now instead of thinking that I am just less emotional than other people, I've realized that I too have the capacity to feel things and I'm happy ❤️🫧🌷

compliment the barista‘s cool jumper. the nice earrings the checkout chick is wearing. the colour of your cousins nail polish. stop it with the ‘you look great’ when people lose weight or ‘you look so much better’ when someone’s skin finally clears up. It’s 2025 and people deserve to ACTUALLY feel good when you give them a compliment.

Normally I feel isolated sitting on the bus, headphones on, but PI just makes me feel more connected to other people
