Most people think we cry because we're sad. And this can be true. But crying is connected to our nervous system and our body's natural impulse to self regulate. Which is why when you feel angry, tears will flood to your eyes. Your body needs to release.
Lately, I've noticed everybody looks OK until you eventually have a deep conversation with them. And then, you'll realize that, this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures.
don’t let anyone shame you for wanting a soft fucking life. it’s not your problem that people are addicted to suffering and burning themselves out to get a desired outcome bc it SIMPLY doesn’t have to be that way. we weren’t put on earth to SUFFER, pay bills and die.
The biggest change of viewpoint I ever went through in psych training was when I said “but what if they’re doing it for attention” and my supervisor was like “what’s wrong with needing attention?” and I realised I didn’t have an answer.
