Crying feels good

Crying feels good you know, it's a great outlet when you feel sad. I am feeling sad but when I stop crying I feel even sadder, it's weird. I remember reading that sadness and crying is the way your brain deals with heavy change. An example would be when an important person in your life dies. I don't know if it's true and I don't really care at the moment, I find it kind of beautiful. It means you really cared about someone and you weren't making it up.

Yesterday I saw my (ex)girlfriend crying, I don't know where this fits in with the theory, but it made me cry. I tried to hold it back but I couldn't.

This is the 4th time I'm making a blog. They range from asking help to sharing thoughts. Typing it out makes me feel better so that's what I'm doing now. Getting feedback feels good too mostly of the time. People on the internet tend to be very direct. It's also a great way to reflect my thought afterwards.

I learned a lot from my first blog. I got my shit together. I don't feel embarrassed about it anymore. I realize it doesn't really matter and I don't care if anyone finds it laughable. I feel like today is the first time I think about it that way. I don't feel like sharing the blog with people I know though. (Although I suspect some IRL people might know my nick on TL)

Making my sentences start with 'I' is something I do frequently. I don't know if that has any meaning. This blog is about me so I think it's okay.

It's funny when you think about how humans are so emotional about the little things. The universe is so big and we are so small, but life around us is the only tangible thing we have so it does make kind of sense.

I often think about what I really want to be or achieve. But not in the kind of way like for example wanting to have a good looking body or wanting better grades in school. What do I REALLY want? I want to look at the earth from space. I want to see half of the surface of the earth in one view. That is my dream. And the sad thing is, I'm not working towards it. I'm learning to make games. Which is not bad because I like to program, but it's not my end-goal.

I think about how to achieve my goal sometimes. Look into engineering? I am okay at math but not that good.

Hope that spaceflight will be accessible for most people in my lifetime? I don't really want to hope for that. We all saw what happened with space exploration and I don't see a bright future for it although I like to dream about one.

Astronauts can't be emotional like me.

Hopefully I will find an answer in my lifetime.


Breaking up sucks and rules at the same time. It rules because it makes me think about life, which is always very enlightening. I guess calling it "The happiness of sadness" would be cool but not really fitting?



I see it became a series of thoughts but I don't mind, I hope it was readable.

It feels very good to write this out and I thank you so much for reading.

Crying does feel good. It feels good to just have that release of emotions that were all bundled up inside of you. In that sense it's kind of like an orgasm, but you don't feel as guilty for crying. Except you're a man and doing it in the comfort of your own home.

I'm not a very emotional person, and rarely cry. I don't consider it a point of pride as some people do, it is just the way I am.

Strangest time I cried was very random. Just sitting on the couch, watching TV, when some lady started talking about how she went into the hospital and lost her baby as a result of a miscarriage.

Still don't know why it hit me that hard, all I knew what that I had to get out of the room or I knew I was going to start sobbing right then and there.


Other than that, I am rather private with my emotions. I don't cry in public, outside of funerals of people that were close to me, but I've only lost two people that were really close, so I'm lucky in that regard.

Crying feels good, yeah.
I never cry in public though and try to keep it to myself.
I don't cry often, but when I feel like crying, I just do. Feels so much better after

I agree completely. I consider myself an unemotional person, but there are times when I'm just down and want to freaking cry, but I can't. I just can't. It's so frustrating, you just want to vent it out and feel sorry for yourself and whatever else. I went for a long time without crying, but then I read The Road again, and that got it out of me. Feels good man.

Why is "ex" parenthesized?

Because at that time we were technically speaking still together. At the moment of typing it felt right to just put (ex)girlfriend.

Hi,

I rarely cry myself, I only cry twice, three or for times a year but I wished I could cry more than that because when I cry I feel like my emotions are freed from something that emprison them (what I feel most of the time) and I like this feeling.

Last time I cried it was a few days ago when I was watching a tv show with my father, it was a poor guy who was narrating who narrated how his father was mistreating him and how he haven't seen his mother and his sister for like 29 years... I was sitting with my father and my father cried without trying to hide, but I didn't wanted to show that I was crying too, I tried to make the less noises as possible.

I tend to think that always trying to hide its emotion to appear strong to the others is not beneficial in certain cases because people will start to think that this person is unemotional or she doesn't feel/ care etc...

Personnaly I don't really hide my emotions to appear strong but mostly to avoid pain, I don't know why I fear the idea of being hurt.

I haven't cried in over a decade. I feel almost incapable of crying, actually. And I'm sort of glad, because when I see a man crying and it isn't something severe like losing a relative, I can't help but lose some respect for him. Be a man of action, not of emotional breakdowns. I'm sure I'm gonna get some rage for this, but I can't help it, it just looks weak to me.
