"A good cry"

[m_cobweb]

It's an interesting phrase. It seems to suggest that something positive comes from crying. I'm inclined to agree. I have been feeling for several days as though stress was building and building inside me, and that I might be all right if I could only have "a good cry." But I have been unable to do it. I'd feel the stirrings but I wouldn't be able to summon anything forth. And I was worried that it would happen uncontrollably in some inappropriate place, like work.

Well, I just had my cry. I hope it was enough. I suppose the need was intensified enough by hormones to cause it to happen. And you know what? It hurts like hell. But I have to believe I will be better tomorrow because of it. And so I do.
