There's growth in firsts like these.....

I have never cried in public before. I mean, I've been visibly upset in public, and sometimes you can tell if I've BEEN crying, or maybe there's, like, *A TEAR*. And I've cried in front of a group of people before (granted, a pretty small group), like when I know I'm totally safe and it's ok. I'm not a crier when people are around. There are VERY FEW people in the world that have seen me cry.

Today I cried in public for the first time in my life. Like, CRY. ING. Tears, sobs, gasps of breath, red eyes, even a little mascara on my face.

Today was a communal recognition of being a part of something beautiful and intangible......and a lot of other things that I cannot communicate or comprehend.

But I do know that I'm a better person for all of it.
