Crying,i cry in maturity
"Crying is actually therapeutic – not something I like doing. But, now and then, it’s what we all find our selves doing because it’s the only outlet to anything. Yes, crying is an involuntarily therapeutic act. We don’t want to do it because we like to pretend that we’re stronger than that. We like to believe that tears can’t wear us down. We like to feel like we’re above the childish act of crying. We’re ‘mature’ adults. But, who’s to say what’s mature? And no one ever made a law that stated that those who cry are innocent and unaware of the tragedy that is the world. I believe that the maturity lies in accepting that, at the end of it all, I’m only human; there’s only so much I can do. And even though I won’t cry in front of a thousand eyes watching me (I won’t even cry in front of the eyes of a loved one), I will cry in the confines of my room. I will cry in solitude, I will cry in the dark and I will also cry in the rain, or in the shower, or while I cut the onions. But I will cry when I’m alone. Because in that moment, in that quiet of loneliness, I can feel the sadness crash and burn; ebb and flow out of me. I can almost hear the tears spill out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks and in that moment, I ask myself, “How am I doing this? How have I done this? How will I go on to do this?” In that moment, I accept and acknowledge that I am, but human and I have come to the point of no return. So, I cry."
