We are so conditioned to hide our emotions that tears are seen as a sign of weakness or loosing control.
We focus on staying positive and looking on the bright side so much that we forget that in darkness there is brightness and in brightness there is darkness too.
Nobody wants to hear this, but the fact remains that you cannot numb your emotions selectively. When you bury your sadness you also bury your joy.
If you want to feel happier, you need to accept and free your tears. Laughing and crying are very closely related.
You cannot stimulate one without stimulating the other. Love is the source of each and every essence.
