you really never think of yourself as emotional until life triggers your emotions to spill out and then your left with the feeling of revealing too much.

and all it can take is the soft spoken words that is 'are you ok?'

and you find the tears rolling down the cheeks, and god forbid if your wearing mascarra... (reminds me of magda rumi's song, al matar al aswad feeee 3ayneeeeeee).

and once you begin crying then the weeks, months of holding in the tears are to be released after the initial first tear drop.

tears are a gift because a 'good cry' really does make you feel better.

tears are words that the heart cant express - well in my case it is.

some one once said that they loved walking in the rain because then no one knows that shes crying.

one things for certain is that our eyes do need to be washed by our tears (not all the time) so that life can be seen alot clearer
ive never been one for crying infront of others including loved ones, i feel vunrable to be seen crying, like im some how exposing a weakness in me, so that if i ever do loose the control of holding in my tears, it usually because i have lost control of my emotions.
but the light at the end of the tunnel continues to shine.
and dua is seriously a powerful tool.

“Are you ok?"

A nice word can make you feel good but a word from the heart can melt ice and cleanse the soul

It makes me sad to see u in pain, so insha allah the cloud will be lifted and the laughter will fill you life and may you never feel pain

Salam White African,
As always, very well expressed. I'm always amazed at how many women I have in my life that feel the exact same way that you do about not wanting to cry in front of others----or maybe not at all. I'm wondering if some how these individuals were some how told and decided on their own at a very young age that crying was "bad" or "wrong". Sometimes when Amira starts crying for what seems no apparent reason at all I struggle with not utter the words, "stop your crying---there's nothing to cry about", for I never want her to feel crying is a "bad" thing. For we even have tears when we laugh too hard sometimes and those should be just as welcomed as the others.

I hope you are doing well, and if you need to talk, vent, cry or whatever, please let me know.

"you really never think of yourself as emotional until life triggers your emotions to spill out and then your left with the feeling of revealing too much."

It depends on the person infront of you

"and you find the tears rolling down the cheeks, and god forbid if your wearing mascarra... "

Reminds me of a similar incident

It is not a sign of weakness at all, it is a sign of love, espression of feelings towards someone. The truth that sometimes this kind of cry is a wake up call for us "men" that we are guilty hurting our partner emotions and being heartless, it does work only if two persons are in love. If it is one way street, the crying episode has no effect on the person.

The serenity Prayer can do wonders and has for me. When all else fails I repeat it to myself and I feel so much better. Please try it WA, and see the difference....

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,Courage to change the things I can , and wisdom to know the difference.


May Allah bless you , my dear always.
