Tears are a normal and natural response to joy, excitement, or pain. Whether you have a broken bone, an exciting achievement or a broken heart, as humans, our natural response is to cry. So why do we teach our young children that tears are not ok and only babies are allowed to cry? Society has taught us that tears are a sign of weakness, rather than beautiful moments of vulnerability.
Check out this article concerning the benefits of tears and next time you feel like you wanna cry, allow yourself to.
It’s ok, you’re not weak. In a world void of tears, it takes great strength to give one’s self permission to cry. Here’s a secret, Tears are the window to one’s heart. They are modes of communication and methods of release. The next time you feel the need to cry, do it, no apologies and no regrets, STRONG GIRLS CRY TOO!! Tearless children breed adults with internal bleeding.
Besides, what are your options? Release and Relief or Internalize and Deteriorate or Explode. My supervisor once strongly advised me to never heat a closed system. Why, because of the risk of explosion. It was hazardous to my health and a threat to the safety of those around me.
If you continue to endure pressure and pain with no release, in time you’ll self destruct. Your tears are ok, they are a gift, allow them to flow freely!
Your Tears Matter
