It has been commonly believed that brave people don’t cry. Tears have always been perceived as a sign of weakness. Crying has been interpreted as a sign of defeat.
Not for me. Crying has never been and will never be a manifestation of weakness for me. It is, in fact, a sign of courage. Crying is surrender to pain. It is the recognition of a common human emotion. There is nothing weak about accepting what you feel, understanding how you feel and yielding to pain that consumes you as long as you fight back when your tears are dry.
As a woman, I’ve never been ashamed to cry, basically because I know I’m not weak, and whoever thinks of me as such knows nothing, therefore, doesn’t deserve my attention. I would cry when I feel sad, happy, or simply.. when I feel like crying. But after that intense expression of emotion, I feel braver and more ready to face anything.
I’m a woman, and I cry. But why do women cry? Because they are brave…. :D
