Go ahead. Cry over spilled milk.

What’s that? Where do I find the time to work, apply to grad school, maintain my incredible physique and beauty (yeah right), AND write a blog? Well the truth is there is a lot of crying for no reason. Sometimes I like to have a good old power cry in the car after work before I go home to a hardy and delicious bowl of Progresso Light Soup. Then there is the classic “the world is caving in on me so I am going to sit dramatically in the shower and ugly cry while the water hits me in the face” cry (oh if my shower could talk…). And finally, you have everyone’s favorite, the ever awkward mirror cry, where you just stand in your mirror and watch yourself cry, in turn making yourself cry more because of how pathetic and awful you look. Now you may be reading this thinking, “Man, this chick is all kinds of unstable.” However, I feel like this is a totally and completely acceptable practice, a healthy release if you will. I feel like crying uncontrollably for no reason is like alcohol consumption, as long as it doesn't interfere with your daily responsibilities, then you don’t have a problem. When you regularly release all those pesky unwanted emotions it allows you to maintain a balance of sorts. When life gives you lemons and nothing is going your way, hold it together, take a deep breath, and know that when you finally pull into your drive way from a long day at work, you are going to have a nice violent cry. You will then wipe away your snot and tears and with it all the crappy crap that the universe saw fit to dump on you that day, and you will feel better, ready to face all the crappy crap that awaits you the very next day. I am an advocate of crying for no reason; however I recognize it’s not for everyone. All I am saying is you should try it before you knock it.

A wise lady once said,” It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.” So remember, sometimes it’s ok to cry for no reason, it is totally normal. So go ahead, cry over spilled milk, just make sure no one can see you.
