Don't let your tears drown you, let them cleanse you

     Your soul is on fire. You feel helpless. Nothing seems to be working out for you and you feel alone. It's just you and your pain, the agonizing thoughts, the voices in your head that keep on telling you how you have failed time and time again. Desperation, frustration, anger. Too many negative emotions to handle. It hurts so badly. Your heart screams. What can you do? Let the pain out, let it all out. Let your tears flow. It is not a sign of weakness to cry. It's something beautiful. It helps you feel better. It doesn't solve your problems but it calms you.

     Sometimes, most of the time, life is hard. We all have problems. We can't be happy all the time. Even if we smile it doesn't mean everything is all right. Some people don't understand you. Some judge you. Some situations are just too hard to handle and drain us emotionally. Some of us are empathetic or sensitive. We can't remain strong like rocks and show no emotion. 

     I don't see myself as a weak person. I never gave up a fight. I never gave up on my dreams. I've had my share of doubts, I've been mocked, I've been lonely and I've been judged by others. And yes, I've cried my heart out a thousand times. Every time it helped me feel better and almost forget the reasons I start crying about in the first place. 

     Don't be afraid to express your emotions. If you feel like crying, do it. It's not a sign of weakness. I see tears as a gift from God. They help you heal your heart. And hey, you can cry when you feel happy too. And those are the best kind of tears! :)
