Cry Baby

From a person who took forever to cry before, I have become such a cry baby, it´s unbelievable! :) Nowadays, I cry over the biggest or the silliest of things. I believe this has hasppened because I have come to terms with my emotional side. But the danger lies in the imbalance i.e. if I become too emotional and forget the importance of being rational.


Anyhow, I am glad that I have been able to cry more lately, even in public spaces! It helps me acknowledge the emotions right off, deal with it and move on. For example, my whole visa situation. Erica 2006 would just "calmly" hear about the situation and start finding solutions. All this time, I am not really calm. I am actually repressing worry, fear and anger. Cut to, Erica now. After hearing a problem, I get all the facts straight, try to find solutions and if everything else fails, I cry. Then I am off to finding out more solutions! In a lot of ways, it helps me a lot because I am able to be upfront with myself and I hardly repress emotions.


My bottomline is this: I actually like crying. It makes me feel more human, at peace and integrated. In the end, being those things matter most to me.
