Hey friends! So, I recently took my kids to see the latest superhero flick, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Despite all the action, I found myself in tears—right there in the front row! The soundtrack was packed with nostalgic hits from the 70s and 80s, and it brought back so many memories from my childhood and teenage years. After the movie, we decided to watch the first Guardians together, and, surprise, I was crying again! My kids are pretty used to seeing their emotional mom in action; they just roll their eyes when they hear that telltale sniffle. It’s like they’ve accepted that this is just how I am.
Honestly, I’ve always been a crier. Whether I’m in McDonald’s and hear a kid order a Happy Meal like my own used to, or spot a teenager rocking pink Converse like I had back in fifth grade, I get teary-eyed. Compliments? Pass the tissues! And don’t even get me started on shows like This Is Us—I’m done for! Laughing until I cry is also a common occurrence for me. It’s almost as satisfying as a good dessert.
Crying is part of my DNA; my mom is a champion crier, and my sisters aren’t far behind. If there were a competition for crying, we’d take home the gold medals without a doubt! Being a sensitive badass is my jam, and I don’t shy away from showing my emotions, no matter who’s around. It’s comforting to know that there are others like me who cry freely. If you need a shoulder to lean on, I’m right here for you. Honestly, I find tears to be beautiful—there’s something so raw and genuine about them.
Imagine if we had crying parties! Just think about it: We could throw on a classic like Beaches, add some drinks, and maybe even dig out some baby books for good measure. Letting it all out feels so cathartic. Crying doesn’t equal weakness—it’s a release. And guess what? People who cry are often stronger than those who bottle things up. They aren’t worried about being seen as too sensitive or weak. How liberating is that?
This past year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me—becoming a new mom, navigating job changes, and tackling unexpected challenges. And you know what has helped? Crying. Sometimes it’s a long session alone in the bathroom, while other times it’s just a quick tear during dinner prep. Regardless, I always feel lighter afterward.
I’ve shed tears almost daily, and I truly believe it’s been a crucial part of getting through tough times. And let’s be real, chocolate helps too! But mainly, it’s the tears that have been my saving grace, and I’m not stopping anytime soon.
