I have never pondered on my tears with this question but recently, on my 40th birthday, I got so many questions as to why I cried so much that I started to wonder. Why do people cry? I really want to know.
I started to cry from the moment my furniture guy walked into my house that morning with an entry-way furniture I had shown him almost 2 years ago. I had shown it to him and made plans to make it for myself but somehow I never went through with the order. I guess I could say that I cried because I realised someone could be thoughtful enough to remember exactly what I wanted.
I had one person ask me if I cried because I was remembering some old stuff. I am still not sure what the question means. Someone else asked if I felt I wasn’t worth all the love I was getting. I thought about that for a bit and I said ‘No’. I deserve every love I get and even more.
Then why did I cry? I am still trying to figure that out but I think I cry because I am a really emotional person and emotional tears come from strong emotions. If I feel appreciated and loved, if I am extremely happy, if I am deeply sad, if I feel misunderstood or any other emotional feeling, you are going to bet that I will get teary eyed. Maybe I will cry.
Someone asked me if I cried about everything. I didn’t have to ponder on this one, I know the one thing I don’t cry over. I don’t cry when I feel a physical pain. I still don’t know why.
Some people cry more than others and we don’t know why, there have been a few guesses that involve a few biology lessons.
I don’t know why people cry but I guess I know why I do.
