I cannot take credit for these words. My cousin, Natalie told me that Uncle Greg said these words to her. They make so much sense don't they? The phrase puts me at such ease. I know God wants us to cry. He wants us to get everything out so that we actually feel our emotions. Holding everything in will soon turn disastrous for everyone. I feel that we have turned into a society where we look at crying as a weakness. This makes me so sad. What is weak about feeling sad? I think it makes a person stronger and more able to work through everything.
I have had so many tears in the past few weeks that I literally don't think I can cry anymore. I am moving today to Switzerland. I have had to say goodbye to all my family. If you know me you know how family is everything to me. I am the person I am today because of them. The past year has been so emotional because Andy and I never knew when we were moving. Every time I would come home, I would think what is it going to be like when I really move? All these feelings made for one very emotional year. That is why I am so ready to move. I have never ever felt bad about crying or getting sad though. I don't care if I walk into a store and people have seen that I have cried. I feel more powerful. I feel that I can actually show my pain and I am not embarrassed for others to see.
I always feel so much better after a good cry. Don't you? I cry, then I pray and I feel such a weight lifted off my shoulders. I wonder what it would be like if I never did cry? Would I be a cold person? I love that I have such a huge heart and wear my heart on my sleeve. When I see a homeless man begging for food I cry. When I see that someone has lost someone I cry. This makes me a compassionate person. This is who I am. I hold my head up high. I feel proud when I cry.
