I cried today
When I was finishing a book and even though I knew the end I cried when they died
I also cried when my sister go engaged
I was there with all our family, I had helped her fiance with the plan
yet I still cried when he got down on one knee
I cannot say if this is good or bad
but I could not stop myself from being so full of emotion
that it has to spill out of me
like a river thawing out in the spring
We like to think that if we simply know something will happen
It won’t affect us
That because we are aware a scary thing is coming we won’t jump
If we know that they die at the end, we won’t cry
But we do
When we feel an overabundance of emotions
We have to let it out
It is the most human thing we can do
