tears
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love."
i used to think that tears were a sign of weakness, in a person, and part of me still believes that. but every day that passes by i know that i am a strong person. not just for me, but for my friends, family, and my other half. the tears i may cry from time to time are just sadness and pain, or joy and happiness. but nonetheless, it's not weakness. i've come a long way, and i understand now that if we don't allow ourselves to shed a few tears we will drown inside.
i am strong. don't let my tears fool you. what is distance but merely an obstacle that time will allow us to overcome?
