I like crying.

I'd like to cry, but other people don't like it :/

This is very true. Indeed to cry makes us stronger, it lifts the pressure that weighs us down, it cleanses the soul. Crying shows real strength - only a good soul can cry. Bad people don't cry because they think they are something better than the rest of us mere mortals.

I have cried many rivers in my life. I have suffered so much - all of it through the actions of others. When I then cried and suffered from their actions, they laughed at me and enjoyed my suffering.

But my tears show that I am the better person. Because I have a soul, I have genuine emotions, I have the ability to feel happiness and sadness. I have the ability to feel pain when I get hurt - in the same way as I have the ability to feel happiness and love when I am in the company of good people or animals.

Those of us who can cry are truly strong people. We are also genuine people, and we are certainly a lot better than those of us who made us cry.

My nick name was a crying baby as a child.
Along the way, I stopped crying.
To be strong, I had to suppress crying, as I did not want to appear weak.
Lately, I became more comfortable with being vulnerable.
Ugh.. I need to stop that.

This is medically true.
Tears, especially in situational crying, release stress hormones and other toxins to help us to cope with life stress.

Part of totally letting go and surrendering my heart to the Divine includes crying...and it is the only time I do....but I have not done so in quite a while.

Sometimes, I will see a beautiful picture..hear a certain song or remember my Lord and tears, or a single tear will come...my eyes will sting, but then I fight back those tears to remain "in control" or "in charge" of the situation.

I often cry during meditation...during sex (as infrequent as that is) and it usually heralds the beginning of a very deep trance state which will last for hours, if not days.
