It’s weird that I’m posting an entry on crying considering that just recently I’ve posted an entry about this same topic. I used to be afraid to cry. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true. But today I cried over a Carrie Underwood song. Just a Dream was the name to be exact. It’s about a soldier who died, and the woman he was supposed to marry. It’s strange that I cried, because I don’t actually know anyone overseas. There’s Melissa’s cousin, and my brother’s friends dad, but no one I’ve known for a really longtime.
Well, Peter took the test to see if he qualifies to go in the army. I’m not sure if that counts, though. I’ve never liked Peter, even when I was little, and I don’t really know how I feel about him enlisting. He’s not one to take discipline from others very well, but it’s the army, it’s not like he has a choice.
I think it’s okay to cry sometimes. I wasn’t really all that sad today, or at least I was acting happy all day. It was just one of those days that I didn’t feel all that great, but I pretended to, because I don’t want anyone to worry about me.
I sat there and cried. I used to hardly ever cry, thinking it was a bad thing. But it’s what makes me human. I’ve never cried because I was so happy, so I don’t know what that feels like. It’s weird because I’m right-brained, but I’m bad with emotions. It’s one of my many character flaws.
And the fact that I can cry now without feeling shameful in any way, I think that’s a good thing. Studies have been shown that humans are the only animals to cry for emotional reasons. If we cry because we’re in pain, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I think it shows we still have some of our heart left.
So, maybe I’m crying more than I used to, but maybe, that’s not such a bad thing.

Golly, I couldn't agree with you more. And when that music video got the the part where she was holding the flag, I started to cry a little. I think that just because that song was probably so personal to Ms. Underwood or to so many people that it really makes an impact, because that's what so many are having to experiance and what not. - Heart@ 4:02 PM EST on Wednesday, May 7, 2008, inlovewithnickjonas said:
I think that sometimes it is good to cry. It is a good release of emotions. I don't cry a lot. But when life is really stressful, I can suddenly find myself crying. I only cry when I am really stressed out or something really bad or painful has happened. The main time I cry, though, is when I get mad. Oddly enough, whenever I get mad, I start to cry. I don't cry a lot, though, because I think I have to be strong for my younger sister. I would not say that crying is bad, though.
