We have all probably been in the presence of someone who has cried. Maybe you witnessed someone crying and they apologized to you, maybe you were crying and you felt bad for crying. Why do people feel guilty for crying in front of other people?

I feel most people probably feel guilty about crying in front of someone because it is awkward. What if instead of letting someone try to hide their tears, we allowed them to just let it out.

Yet there is something in tears that holds us back from fully expressing this emotion. It would seem that as a society we should be more used to tears then ever before. Look at most reality shows on television today, they are full of emotional people in very different circumstances expressing their emotions in tears. Are we more ok watching others cry then ourselves? Have we become so used to others tears that we hide our own?

There is something beautiful in tears because it expresses so much. Think about your tears and it will bring back memories; we can remember the times we have been in tears over something. It’s like a past road map to the things that have really affected us both positive and negative.

There is…

…beauty in tears

…passion in tears

…love in tears

…pain in tears

…emotion in tears

Let the tears flow don’t be ashamed!
