Tears are as natural to us as breathing and
there is beauty in allowing yourself to be open to the pain of tears. How wonderful it feels to give in and let
tears flow when we are overwhelmed with emotions, whether we are happy or
sad. Tears come from the soul, from our well of feelings rising from deep
down. When we give in to the prickling behind our eyes and the lump in our
throat to let teardrops fall from our eyes, we allow our feelings to surface
so they can be set free. Proud parents shed tears of pride in a
child’s accomplishments, a baby’s first step, birthdays, and graduations.
Long lost friends fall into each other’s arms, tears rolling down their
cheeks when they reunite after years of separation. Tears may flow from us
when we are witness to a commitment being made at a wedding or even while we
are watching a love story. Tears of relief may spring forth from our eyes
when we hear that a loved one has survived an ordeal, and tears may fall when
we bow our head in sorrow over a loss or death. Tears born from heartache can
flow like they’ll never cease, whether our tears are for a love that is over,
a friendship lost, or an opportunity missed. We shed tears because of
disappointment in ourselves, tragedy in the world, pain, and illness. Tears
of anger can burn with emotion as they fall down our faces. Tears offer us a
physical release of our feelings. Shedding tears can sometimes make us feel
better, although it can feel like the tears will never end once the
floodgates are open. There is no shame in letting tears flow freely and
frequently. Tears are as natural to us as is breathing. There is beauty in
allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to shed tears. Open up, release
your tears, and let your feelings flow. |
