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.

đI generally donât 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 donât 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 everyoneâs life that deserves a few tears every now and then.

đ°i am beyond grateful that my parents taught me the importance of crying at a young age. seeing my dad break his facade of unflinching masculinity made me realize it was okay for me to feel outwardly, no matter what it was that i felt flowing through me. today i am so happy to be able to cry in the same capacity in which i laugh and love and yearn and hurt. i know crying is a prerequisite for living but it seems that lots of people forget itâs catharsis and the fact they came into this world doing it.

đ§I am not a very emotional person especially compared to my close friends who cry often and share their life and struggles to me
this year something happened to me that got me very sad and I cried hard for a long time
that day, I had felt like a dam broke in my mind and all of a sudden I began to cry over everything (tiktoks, stars, little women)
when I reflect on this, I feel sad that my happiness has seemingly decreased, however(!) I now feel much happier and healthier because I am letting out my emotions rather than keeping them to myself
I also have come to love the sensation of crying. it's a fun and interesting state to be in physically and mentally and it's really kinda cool
now instead of thinking that I am just less emotional than other people, I've realized that I too have the capacity to feel things and I'm happy â€ïžđ«§đ·

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. Iâve found that as healing goes on, just as itâs shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time. Â
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of âthis is what is, how can I make this work well for me?â Everything works out for The Fool because they donât know it canât. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesnât stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what ifâs! The Fool is in the moment!

đHumans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE đ
