I don't know how many societies are out there who accept 'adult crying'! But I'm sure there are not many.
I sometimes ask myself, WHY? Why we made it so hard to release our pain, frustrations, sadness, depression easily through our tears? Why we make others feel like they are not allowed to cry? Is this a sin? No, then why?
People expect us to behave predictably. It's easy for all to handle 'known' situations. And we are also included in this 'people' list.
Is not it obvious to live many days and even years without 'wet eyes'?
I personally believe, 'crying is healthy'. But this society taught me so hard to believe 'it's not okay' and make it hard for me to cry. I really want to cry. Nope. I don't need to come up with any excuses. There are still enough reasons in my life to cry for. I know maybe you sometimes feel the same. If so, don't feel awkward if you feel like crying.
I have cried after so long. I can't remember when I last cried for any valid reason. But I had to do it secretly. Because I'm not allowed to cry, as I was saying. Everyone is saying, it's okay. There's nothing to feel sad about. You have enough in your life. But deep inside I feel like I should cry, scream and throw gallons of tears. I need to release all the 'pain' I'm feeling inside. Surprisingly I found that my heart became so hard that I can't even cry for long! There are still many things which need to go away. How can I cry more, I have no idea!
This may sound silly to you. You may say, people are starving and I'm talking silly here. Yeah, you are right. Maybe I'm not starving that's why finding reasons to talk silly, to cry. But I feel like I should talk about it. And I really believe we need to establish 'adult crying' a normal thing is society.
That's why I would suggest you to not make your eye 'dry' for many days. Allow yourself to feel sad, cry if you feel so and never feel bad about it.
We are allowed to cry as long as we are carrying humanly feeling. Don't hold yourself back from expressing your true feeling.
THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!
Much Love
I had my University degree in 'Public Administration' and later did my Post Graduation in 'Human Resource Management'. I also gathered experience working with HR in a multinational Organization. Besides that and most importantly; I'm a life & nature enthusiast, I love to learn human psychology, I'm a 'Book worm' and very introvert but also love to travel. I'm trying to live mindfully and sure, I'm a positive learner.
