I Do Not Like People to See Me Cry
Never once was I told to never cry. That was something I decided for myself and sadly it isn’t always the healthiest choice. For a long time I have been the “Mom friend” who is always ready to swoop in and save the day. Along with my personality I was always told how strong I was. I truly felt that I had to maintain that image for the sake of others. I was the shoulder to cry on but in the end whose shoulder could I cry on?
To put myself in such a vulnerable state is the scariest thing to do. But no matter what you are strong. If you fall to your knees and cry, you are still strong. That strength has never left you completely. Your loved ones will never think any different of you.
I’m trying to become more open with myself and others. It’s not always a walk through the park but it is a journey I am willing to partake because I know deep down, my friends would do anything to comfort me.
