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.
