My Tears
Published June 18th, 2025
My tears make you uncomfortable—
but they helped make me strong.
They helped me find myself,
when I had forgotten who I was.
My tears helped me let go
of the pain I carried for years,
the hurt I held inside—
my tears let it go.
They helped me feel again,
even when I didn’t want to.
They helped me release the anger
I didn’t know I felt.
My tears brought me peace.
They brought me back to who I was,
before life took over—
and my tears first began to fall.

Being Sensitive is Not a Flaw
If you cry when you’re upset, sad, angry, overwhelmed, or hurt—you're not too much. You're human. Crying isn’t weakness. It’s release. Sometimes tears come when words don’t. Sometimes crying is your body processing what your voice can’t express yet.
So if your emotions feel big, or your tears show up without warning—don’t shame yourself.
You’re not broken. You’re healing.
Let the tears fall. Better out than in. Always.
