I am someone who cries a lot. I cry when I read a touching story. I cry when I watch movies or other things. I cry when I recall happy memories. I cry when I recall sad memories. I am someone who loves to laugh and smile, yet I am equally someone who loves to cry. I often wonder: if people’s tears can be accumulated and calculated, my tears can probably become like an ocean. This is how much I cry.

I used to find the fact that I cry a lot as proof that I am a weak person… A few times in my life, I cried about a meeting, an exam and other things. “Strong people would not do it, right?” I thought. No, now I believe that the fact that I cry a lot is proof that I am a strong person. Yes, it might seem weak to cry in the moment. But there are things that are more important than the “moment”, which is the “long-term”. The more I cry, the less tension I keep within my body. The more I cry, the freer I am in the end. I want to be such a free person.
