Is this statement redundant? Perhaps. But as someone who comes to the verge of tears often without shedding one, I find it frustrating that such a human response is difficult to accomplish. I suppose the feeling of resolution and relief still visit after reaching that emotional state, but my tears are backed up and need space for new ones.

Humbling. Cathartic. Sort of a two birds, one stone situation

Cry hard, cry loud, cry in private, in public, cry when you need to cry. I spent decades of my life suppressing all my emotions and pretending to not have feelings at all! Unless something life altering and catastrophic happened, like a death, major fight/breakup, or nightmare panic attack, I just shut down. But in my late twenties and now early thirties I’ve opened up the floodgates and cry cathartically multiple times a week. Typing this out does sound like I’m unstable, and maybe I am, but crying is proven to help you self-soothe, recover from grief, detoxify, dull pain, and improve mood by releasing stress hormones. Crying and laughing and laughing until you cry and crying until you laugh. So if you feel a cry coming, don’t suppress it!!!

possibly a sequel to my being easily amused rec? same release or whatever joni mitchell said but everyone needs to weep more. i really think the clarified feeling you get after a good cry is one of the best.

Not gonna lie, it’s been awhile since I’ve had a nice warm hug. like a real meaningful one ya know? The type you don’t want to let go it’s so comforting. Anyways, thanks Instagram reel for reminding me I’m using you to ignore deep unwanted feelings.

I wish I could speak every language to converse with everyone around the world! There’s something tantalizing about having this ability. Perhaps because deep conversations are a doorway into someone‘s upbringing and people’s cultures, and there is so much joy in hearing someone‘s story. In another lifetime, surely I was a polyglot enjoying company from people all around the world!
