My apolgies for the 3 space dots above.
I often pondered why we have tears.
When the world and all the problems seem to be weighing you down, know that you all never need to feel ashamed to have a good howl, just let yourself into that space where you can cry and let it all out. Its a wonderful releasing of the tensions.
Know too that lots of us here, have been through, run the gamut of emotions that you right now may be experiencing. This is a funny ole community, individuals on many different varying levels all making their way out from a highly constricting order, many very advanced in recovery and others less so.
Everyone is valued here, the experience we share is in its own way quite unique, but never feel that you are alone now, for here you will find many who express a willing desire to help you on your journey onwards. Many here really do care, others care but maybe don't know how to express that in words and sometimes you may feel rejected by some of the postings. An awareness is developed in time that these ones too are only expressing their pain. Its all quite normal and is all a part of the healing process.
Back to crying or just letting the tears flow. Always know that you can have that space to heal yourself where you feel safe and secure. All of you can hold your heads up high in dignity for collectively and individually, you've all accomplished great things in getting through this experience, getting to where you are now. I take my hat off to the lot of you.
But tears are good.
Take care, all the best and peace be with you.
