i feel like crying for no reason

so ur just standing in the kitchen, or on the train, or watching a random ad — and ur eyes go warm out of nowhere 🥺 it feels embarrassing bc nothing obvious "happened." but ur body keeps a tab open for every small thing u brushed past this week: the snippy text, the meeting that felt off, sleeping bad, skipping lunch, that thing ur friend said in march. eventually it hits "save" and the tears do the saving.

this isn't u being too sensitive or too much. it's actually ur body being healthy — it's releasing pressure instead of holding it down forever. ppl who never randomly tear up aren't more okay, they're usually just better at not noticing. u noticing isn't the problem, it's the gift.

if u can, let it happen. even 90 seconds of crying loosens smth that 90 minutes of trying to be fine never will. then water, soft food, a soft thing to wear, a slow text to someone (or me) saying "i cried today and i don't fully know why." u don't have to know why to deserve gentleness about it.
