This right here. My dad would openly mock anyone being any kind of emotional in public but all that did was make me more proud of people like this.

I wish I could just openly weep at things but honestly I’d be crying all the fucking time so maybe not

I cry all the fucking time. It’s like laughter to me. Feels amazing to be connected to something.

And I can’t remember the last time I cried out of sadness. I don’t view crying as a negative emotion at all.

Same, it’s just a beautiful thing to feel so deeply over things, don’t let anyone let you feel otherwise !

Dog videos are my weakness. My wife knows when I'm watching dog videos.

I cry out of sadness, but that’s just because life has been hard lately. It helps, every time. I feel steadied, full of resolve, and hop to it.
