If we can smile in happiness, why do we hesitate to let the tears flow in sadness? The emotions and the depth of feelings our tears make us experience is pure. And while I write this note, the water in my eyes explore the contours on my face and find a path down to my neck. Ah! experiencing the void within can be so difficult.
I smile the whole day, share gossips and giggle around. And when I sit with myself, my "Best friends" appear in my eyes. My sister finds it too confusing when I manage to cry and smile-together. She always asked me to decide what I really wanted to do!
The memories are very powerful. They can make you laugh your heart out when you are accompanied by your friends. And, they can melt your heart & moisten your eyes when you are all on your own.
But.. this flow of emotion is very important for it cleanses our soul and lightens our heart. Unfulfilled dreams, unmatched deals, distant expectations and loathsome words-these all hurt us and stay registered in our heats to make us cry time and again. Needless to say, Dad's appreciation , mom's gentle touch and a friend's hug makes the water of emotion find a path for itself too.
"Tears are as natural to us as breathing and there is beauty in allowing yourself to be open to the pain of tears.
How wonderful it feels to give in and let tears flow when we are overwhelmed with emotions, whether we are happy or sad. Tears come from the soul, from our well of feelings rising from deep down".
As I pen this down, my tears keep rolling back and forth and again I smile and I cry- all together, just to confuse my sister yet again :P
