I was starving and looking for a good coffee. “Colours Cafeteria” was the name that caught my attention. — An Irish Coffee please — , I said to the waiter. After a couple of minutes I got drunk, it had too much whisky but I loved it. So I asked him for another one cup of coffee.
That whisky made me remember the good life I have but I was so busy to see it. In that moment I started to cry and the waiter asked me if I was okay and I replied him — I am — . He was scared and I thought if crying was a wrong thing in that moment at the cafeteria.
We are told that crying is not a good thing and to cry is symbol of weakness. “ — Don’t be a child, stop crying — ”. I usually hear that, and it gets worst if you are a man. I always ask myself, why people don’t like crying?
For me, crying is a way to feel and express emotions. Emotions that could be many. If it is good or bad, depends on you. But for me, crying is as bad or good as your feelings and emotions are.
When I am happy sometimes I cry because of that. It is the same thing when I am sad, even when I am mad for something. You should do that, cry!
Tears clean your eyes, if you are sad, they’re your friends and comfort you. If you’re happy , they prove you are excited.
So cry! Cry whenever you want, for the reason you want. Cry and no matter what people say. Cry if someone leaves you or someone kisses you. Cry if you have lost a friend and you are still missing him, same as me.
Cry if you won something or just you are watching some movie. Cry if mom or dad say that you could not do it. Cry when you realize that what mom and dad say affects your life. Cry when they support you and love you. Cry because that makes you stronger not weaker. Cry if you listen to good music or you play the piano.
Cry drinking coffee or smoking. Cry and go for a walk thru the woods. Cry in the mountains, in the sea or in the river. Cry if you want to.
But above all, do not stop crying!
