Dilemma
So recently I wrote a post with the same title as this and @JimLamb gave the idea to create it as a challenge. So it goes like this - "When you don't cry now on the things you would've cried for in the past, have you become more strong or more damaged?" Anything is welcomed. Please tag me in the comments!!
Gaining the strength to be vulnerable and open up to others can often lead to tears, but it is far better tears than the ones you cry over loneliness. If you cry for the right people, tears are strong - if you cry for the wrong ones, you can gain strength from learning and fighting for a better way, and thus lessen your tears.
Tears are not universally good or bad, but we should only cry about what truly matters to us.
