It’s Okay To Cry

I want you to know that it is okay for you to cry

I want you to know that crying doesn’t mean that your weak

It actually means that you’ve been strong for so long carrying what sometimes can feel like the weight of the world on your shoulders 

And I want you to know that it is okay

It is safe for you to let go

If you look at a river what does it do?

It just simply flows

And just like that you can allow yourself to cry

Become that river

Let your tears wash away all the heaviness... the burdens... the pain

And let it cleanse you

Why would your tears be something bad when the elect of water is what washes us clean?

Why would your tears be a bad thing when they’re made out of the same stuff just like the ocean of this planet?

And I know most of you love beaches 

And let me tell you your tears are just as beautiful 

You don’t have to keep filling the class until it over flows

You don’t have to keep your tears until one day a tsunami breaks out from your eyes

You can allow youself to just gently let go of what’s bothering you

To allow youself to feel everything... the good... the bad... the ugly, is one of the bravest things you can do

So when you’re ready

I hope you find the courage and the strength 

To simply let go and let the tears flow

And wash you clean

~ your love
