Crying

Everyone needs a good cry once in a while. It makes us all feel a bit better to just “let it out.” When life seems to overwhelm us, whether it be from caring for an ill child or elderly relative, a death, or just a buildup of stress, a good cry can cleanse the soul. I honestly do not cry often, but once in a while, a movie or show or something happens around me and the feeling builds suddenly and wells up in my eyes. I feel an emotional pull to just let it out. Sometimes I do, but most times I just fill up and move on. When you feel the world closing in on you, take a deep breath, and if you need to just be alone, let it roll. Tears coming out and coming to terms with your feelings is so very good. Holding it inside, like I do at times, is not good. It only adds to the building of stress and will come out in other ways. It can effect your daily life, how you function, and how you relate to others. So next time those weights are on your shoulders, get out the tissues and go for it. My 5th year
