I didn't really cry until I was 17 so I'm still relatively new to it and often burst out into tears in front of people. I'm always embarrassed by it and reflexively say that I'm sorry. Everyone always responds "It's okay!" or "It's good, I wish I could cry that much." I'm learning to be okay with it when the tears come.

I totally feel you on that reflex, but you’re right that it’s okay to let the tears flow 🙂‍↕️

This was something that started when I began healing. I cry every day out of gratitude or beauty. I cry when something is sad. I don't feel ashamed.
When I was young, I learned to hide my emotions away. I never cried in front of people if I could help it. Now I let my emotional freak flag fly.

i think i cry a little bit more than most people, but i used to cry a lot. I used to live in an environment that brought me to tears nearly every day. It wasn’t sad crying, moreso a warming of the heart, but i was embarrassed to be crying all the time there. Once i was crying and i apologized to the man sitting next to me. He had just arrived a few days prior, we didn’t really know each other, but he looked at me and smiled and he said that crying just means you’re melting. This is something i always try to say to criers.

Finally lighting the candle you’ve held onto because it smelled so good that you wanted to keep it forever but then lost it; reunited a few years later. Just to light it in your new apartment.
