Crying Appreciation

EuanF

I love crying. 

It seems an odd thing to say, but i'm more and more having such an appreciation for it. I often cry because of sadness or fear. I get really frustrated when I know i'm feeling these things or other intense emotions and I can't seem to cry, it just doesn't come. But when it does, it's like I finally feel connected to my own soul again, letting the emotions out externally and feeling alive. There's something so delicate and beautiful about it. Not to mention the crying when I'm happy or joyful, it just feels so soulful. 

Anyway, just thought I'd make a crying appreciation post to spread the joy that can be found in crying for any reason.

  • Whilst a good old cry is sometimes what is needed, I don't enjoy it when I cry. With me, it often starts with feeling like I've got a painful lump in my throat, which is a sensation I am not at all fond of.

    If you have ever watched the film Something's Gotta Give, there is a scene where Diane Keaton's character is crying to the extent that one wonders whether she will ever actually stop. I don't cry like that often, but I really dislike it when I do.

    Crying with happiness I can tolerate, although it's not often that something makes me feel so wonderfully happy that I cry. If it happens when I'm in the presence of another person, I have found it can sometimes leave them feeling somewhat confused, which then seems to turn my happy crying into laughter. This is especially true if the other person is struggling to understand what has made me so happy.
