You know, you can cry if you need to cry. They say

You know, you can cry if you need to cry. They say tears heal the soul. You don’t have to hold it back. You don’t have to numb yourself to the emotions that are building up like skyscrapers that will never touch the sky. Numbing yourself isn’t protecting yourself. Protecting yourself is giving your heart permission to break so that your soul can touch heaven. You don’t have to know why you need to cry. You don’t have to know why your breathing is getting heavy and your body is getting tingly. If you can’t cry, you don’t need to know why. Just be, sweet one, just be. Squeeze your hands in each other to comfort yourself a little. Hold your chest for a little to comfort yourself. Your mind is a full moon and your emotions are Hawaiian waves. You are an ocean that feels in shallows and depths and that is okay. You hold life itself inside of you. You hold the weight of the world not only on your shoulders, but within every cell of your body. Let go of the unnecessary responsibility to save yourself or anyone else.
