It's Okay because We're only Humans.

'Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.'

-C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia, #4)

We all have probably had that one awfully sickening bad day at school or at work— I assume to be. And when we get home, we scramble for the keys in your pocket and unlock the house door, only to lock it afterwards and dash to the comfort of your bedroom before locking it. Before you know it, tears are already rolling down your cheeks. One drop. Two drops. And finally you break down. 

I'm pretty sure that it is normal to behave that way from personal experience as well as considering the society we are in in present-day. I wouldn't say things go well all the time and in fact, they don't. Not all the time. But the times where you were hoping it had actually did. 

Why do we cry? 

I'm not going to be all scientific here because I'm not a science person duh but here's what I think. I believe it's an act triggered by an emotional impact in us. It could be due to overwhelming happiness or sadness but in this case, I'd be referring to sadness. 

Simply because today, I want to convey this message to you that it's okay to cry. It's okay to break down and it's simply okay for your walls to crumble because from my point of view, crying is perhaps unexpectedly the most ideal way to let out frustration or grief. When we cry, we're letting our walls crumble for a minute or two. When we cry, it's simply because there are situations where we don't think we can continue handling them anymore. It's good to cry, in fact but what's next after crying?

1. Wiping your tears

Duh. Do wipe them only after you're satisfied enough. Dry your tears so that another tear will never roll down again. Basically meaning it's time to get back up again.

2. Think through

Majority of people cry when something happens. It could be a loved one who had just passed on or it could be that you're feeling done with everything or others more. However, crying is not the solution to everything and a good efficient way is to really sit down and think through the ways you can overcome it. Could it be that you're thinking too much? If not, what are the steps you should take? If you miss someone, call them. If you want to talk to someone, text them. If you're feeling down, talk to a friend. As simple as that. You see, everything in life seems too conplicated but if we think again, hey! It's ourselves who are making things difficult. The lack of courage to talk or text someone. It's not easy to pick up your courage but isn't that way better than having to muddle over an issue and end up spoiling your moods? 

3. Moving on

Deep in our hearts, we know that moving on is often the simplest yet the hardest. But trust me, by putting down the weight that you volunteered to carry ( can you even believe that ), you will be able to let go of the past and move on to a brighter future with hopes and achievements  because who knows? So go out there and get yourself going!

Lastly, do remember that everything happens for a reason. Be it happy or sad, it's either you gain a treasure or you learn the right way to gain a treasure.
