I cry.

I cry when I'm happy,

I cry when I'm sad,

I cry over old photos,

I cry over commercials.

It comes so naturally to me

that I've never thought to fight it.

I've delayed it, mind you,

but I've never completely denied myself

a good cry.

It took me 37+ years

to realize I can mentally will myself

not to cry.

It's so empowering

that it's making me a little teary

just thinking about it.
