Hello steemians.
How are you doing today? Hope you are fine as I am.
There's something I have come to realize which I want us to talk about today. Looking at the topic, you'll probably be wondering why I'm talking about that.
But you know, we live in a world where everyone is taught to be strong and brave enough to not let a tear drop whether you are a man or a woman, especially if you are a man.
This is why we will always hear this statement "Big boys don't cry" or "Crying is for babies". And interestingly, many people have grown up holding to these statements, yet dying with a bowl of tears on the inside.
Today, it will look strange if you see a grown up man crying, maybe because he lost his job or his relationship ended, or whatever. Most times, people will make fun of it and tell you to be a man 😰 as though you are a baby at that moment.
Crying has become one of the least ways of proving maturity today, how sad! I tell you the truth, you don't have to be a baby or a woman to cry.
When you are in a sad state, people always come around to comfort and sympathise with us and then they tell us not to cry, that we should be strong. We too may have said so to people thinking that we are comforting them.
But the truth is that, to cry is one of the nice ways of healing and getting over something quick. So, next time, let people cry if they want to cry. Allow the tears to run down if they are hanging on your eyes. You don't have to be a woman to cry.
I may not know your own lose you have incurred. It may be the lost of a loved one (mother, father, sibling, husband or wife, friend, etc). It may be a broken relationship, that you haven't gotten over. It may be that things are not working out the way you planned. Etc
Honestly, I don't know how it hurts.
I don't know what people have told you.
But one last thing I want to tell you as that, the solution is not in drinking to stupor, it's not in committing suicide, it's not in building hate in your heart. Release the tears from your eyes. The tears that makes your heart heavy. And you know what? It will ease your healing.
But above all else, trust in the Lord, and wait patiently for him. He's the greatest comforter.
God bless you
Stay safe, and keep waiting for Jesus.
We are all human and crying is part of being human
