Sadness is not to be relegated to damp basements and muggy corners but felt with the sun on your face and plants by your sides. I cry better when the world around makes it feel temporary
Sunlit sensation also distracts my walls and lets the tears flow easy to the rivers running by my feet
Hiking and crying is a 10/10

There is something so liberating about walking around a park or busy city streets just bawling my eyes out. like fuck im sad, but what’s even more sad to me right now is being alone in my room??
If I feel like crying i‘ll grab my headphones and go outside. Not only is there more chance that I’ll see something outside that will make me less sad (like that time a fluffy dog jumped onto the bench i was crying on and sat with me), but it’s quite comforting to be so open. Granted sometimes I end up crying too hard and wish no one could see me. But most the time I can feel comfort in knowing that half the people I’m walking past probably want to cry too
and if you really don’t want people to SEE you cry just stick on some sunglasses and get out there

I generally don’t cry often, so my tears somehow feel like a precious resource. A resource I like to spend on beautiful words, or hard thoughts, or collections of music and images that make me feel something.
I cried at the end of a really good book last night. It felt like paying homage to the author, to the story of suffering that had been told. An acknowledgement of the hardship and triumph told over just a few hundred pages.
Or the other week, I cried because I realised how hard it is for me to ask for help, and I allowed myself to mourn that loss - the opportunities for connection, for honesty, that I don’t even allow people that are close to me to make. I wrote about three pages in my journal about those years, because I know I want to change that about myself. I can be sad about it, but I still want to move on.
The point is, I hope you let yourself cry sometimes, because I think there is something in everyone’s life that deserves a few tears every now and then.

There’s a paddock near me with wild horses and my little horse sometimes musters up the courage to say hello

Scooped cereal into my mouth and found an overwhelming presence of raisins. Scooped again to rectify the serial-raisin ratio.
More raisins have thwarted me.
If a mouth full of raisins is my fate then I will chew.
