Recently I have cried a suffocating kind of crying three times and that number worries me but excites me as well.
I think any reminder that something mattered so much, you can't restrain your disappointment that it is gone, is beautiful.
I've noticed that I cry a lot. I consider this, if I'll be honest with myself, a weakness. I don't know if it's because I'm weak or if I just have an easily-moved heart. I cry every time I hear Dreaming Of You by Selena. I cried when Jess Aarons punched that bully after Leslie died in Bridge to Terabithia. I cried when Ewan McGregor called his father-in-law in The Impossible (let's be real, I couldn't see, like, half the movie through my tears). I sobbed one time when my friend told me I was special and it was actually kind of embarrassing. I cry a lot.
The suffocating kind of cry that I'm talking about is really... hurful, in a way. I feel so sad about nothing in particular afterwards. My head and my eyes always hurt. I hate seeing myself in the mirror because I look weak. It's the kind of crying where you can hear the tears coming out of you in a sort of bellowing fashion? And you hunch over and you cover your face with your palms and you know there is snot all over them and you just imagine yourself in this corner of your world, and you know that someone out there is okay and doesn't have a reason to cry, and you wonder what your'e doing, heaving out your problems, and why won't anyone lightly knock at your door and place a comforting hand on your back?
I hope none of you experience that kind of crying. And if you do, I hope the okay-ness comes sooner than later.
I kiss each of you on the top of the head. Here's some Motrin.
