Ugly Crying. It’s a gift.

I use to be afraid of ugly crying. I very much thought it was a weakness and was embarrassed by the thought. The thing is, as you grow and mature you realize that the ability to cry, even ugly cry, is a gift. I was struggling with a lot of untold emotions and feelings until I let myself cry it out. Crying is healing. Tears are the water than cleanse the soul. A way to rid yourself of the negative and make way for new life. Crying releases endorphins into the body. Once all the stress hormones and chemical imbalances in the body are released through tears, our body rewards us with these endorphins. So don’t be afraid to let it out. Be a crybaby, feel better already! I know I do!
