Cry, cry, cry.

Earlier this year some people who, I didn't know, but were very familiar died. I feel like an idiot sometimes when I'm upset about it, because I didn't even know them. I think the saddest part was the fact that each of them committed suicide. It just leaves so many questions unanswered. It's strange to think that the person you walked past everyday was depressed. This seemingly happy person who you sometimes envied was actually suicidal. It makes you wish you were that little bit more insightful and had actually asked them how they were. How the really were.
So last night I was listening to my iPod on shuffle and Everybody Hurts by REM came on. This is what kicked off my emotional breakdown. Perhaps breakdown is too harsh a word for this, but keep reading. It really made the tears run (before you jump to any conclusions, I just want to let you know that I am not posting this for sympathy of any kind. I'm not fishing for pity. I don't need either. There's a lesson in the end.

). Anyways, it really brought back the memories of everyone I'd ever kown who had died. It wasn't fun, but by the end of the song I realised that the crying was doing some good so I continued to listen to some sad songs such as Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton and How To Save A Life by The Fray. This brought me to the conclusion that crying really is good for you. You should just cry, cry, cry until you have no more tears left on you. It's like breaking out of a straight jacket. I'd say about 90% of us bottle things up, though we wouldn't like to admit it. I'm one of those 90%. We all know it's not good for us, so just let it out. Seriously. We could all do with a good crying session. Or just watch a sad movie. Crying feels good. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, so I see crying as sort of spring cleaning for your soul. Anything to do with getting things of your chest is good for the soul.

So now, my dear readers, I order you to go out and cry until your eyes run dry!

"Let It Out" by Starrfadu
Do you want to lay your head on my shoulder?
I don't mind if you cry.
Sometimes we all just need to let it out.
Just let your tears run down my arm,
so I can keep them in a blue jar.
We'll drink them later, so just let it out.
Let's take a walk just to clear our heads.
I don't mind that you're holding my hand.
You say you love me, so just let it out.
Your smile is a pleasant change from before,
when you thought that you couldn't take anymore.
Sometimes we all just need to let it out
