It Is Okay to Cry
💧 Revamping these beautiful lyrics by SOPHIE cuz I have to remind this to myself every once in a while. 💧 Maybe I don’t seem like it, but I might be the biggest cry baby to ever exist lol. Growing up, I dealt with so much stress of trying to know who I was and how other people wanted me to be and how they used to perceive me, so at nights the only thing that could help me to cope with all that pressure was essentially, crying. And since then, I got confortable with feeling vulnerable, as I understood that being that emotional was a healthy and very human way of reacting to my surroundings. Crying is fucking okay. That doesn’t make you weak. Crying is just your body reflecting all the emotions caused by external factors. And that’s okay. Society is what has associated the act of crying to being weak or less masculine??? So there’s another strike of toxic masculinity. Crying doesn’t make me less man. It just makes me human.
