i started out by me staring myself fiercly in the mirror, and saying "boys dont cry, so shut the fuck up". i dont know which incident it was... another fight between my parents, my dad hitting me or my mum, or my mum escaping to the roof of the apartment block again. whatever. stood in the bathroom, my throat burning, staring at the tiny mirror saying "dont cry. dont you dare fucking cry."
you dont know whether to forget these things, to let them pass over, or remember them and let them fester.
but this is dedicated to all those ladies out there who dont cry. who dont give men the satisfaction of seeing their tears. i dont know why its such a female thing to do, really. and i dont know why we need to lose our femininity to be strong.
i let myself cry a little, when i got to college. when i was terribly, terribly homesick.
go figure.

girls need to be strong just as much as men...it isn't like nobody relies on US for support and strength that we can get away with bursting into tears whenever we want...i have often stared at myself in the mirror and said 'you will NOT cry, you're stronger than that, you will not be a sissy girl' too...and sometimes all i want is to be a sissy girl and let someone else take care of everything..but to no avail, in the end you can only rely on yourself.

why shouldn't we all let ourselves cry, man, woman, or child? there's a reason it comes so naturally.
it's a way of healing, and sometimes shedding tears for or with someone can be a way of supporting them.

I stopped crying last year. I just can't do it anymore. Well, I still can, but I'm trying not to. I feel weak when I do.

There was a time when I wanted so bad, so so bad, to be able to cry, to be able to feel something, anything. But I couldn't. It was like there was nothing I could do to feel real. I would look at all the people who were crying, a sad tv show, or a death, or a broken leg and think of how lucky they were that they could express their feelings. I would think to myself, if only I could just cry, everything would be okay. But the tears just wouldn't come. I can't cry.

be willing to let go of what was for the sake of what could be?
it makes senses.
will long eternally but will shine on.

i don't agree with some of these blathers. i am the first to admit that some girls cry way to much at nothing, but crying is one way to heal. to not cry at all is hiding one's emotions, which is good in some cases, but awful in others. everyone should cry at some point (men, boys, women, and yes even girls). to not cry at all is giving into society's idea that emotions are weak, and that isn't true, emotions are what makes life worth living.

i could only cry when you read your words.
when they said i love you.
i can only cry when i read the fictional words. see the fictional moving pictures, while listening to a mawkish soundtrack of our lives.
it's only when you face me with a reality so true....

i cry whenever i'm emotionally tense (usually disappointed, or angry) and someone says something nice or sympathetic
i hate crying - can't control it, so end up looking like an idiot.
i cry too easily

but when you read your words again to me
i was stoic.
it's when you left my favorite shirt of yours behind,
when i realized you never once told me i was beautiful.
that there one or two tears left behind.
