There's so many types of crying, and they all affect me differently.
I can spend years not crying .. I did that.
Then suddenly the tears started coming and they didn't stop. I'm at a point now where I cry several times a week, but it's not frustrated crying it's emotional release crying. Frustrated crying makes me feel angry and leaves me with fallout; emotional crying, for example because I'm sad about my life, or a movie, music, song or prose has sparked high emotion, well that kind of crying makes me feel at peace. Also, there's the late at night crying, when life all of a sudden just seems to short and overwhelming, that crying will lead into a day or more of sadness. Then there's happy crying, which I only can do if I'm slightly stoned or slighty drunk (they used to call it, politely, 'tipsy'). Happy crying is hard to describe. Happy crying is awe and gratitude, fear and sadness, longing and loneliness all wrapped together.
