"Tears are words that need to be written."
Paul Coehlo
When tears run down our face, we have a tendency to hide and withdraw. Our inner critic shames us for being too sensitive or for not being strong. In reality, our emotions are a vital part of our daily activities. They make us aware of what we are experiencing so we can act accordingly.
Whether we are embarrassed by any display of emotions or if we are a private person, writing down our feelings offer us a safe place for understanding and releasing. Our written word, when reread, offers great insight to what is buried beneath the surface. We may not be upset for the reason we think we are or be amazed at how deeply we had felt about a situation.
One of the benefits of writing is that it can be scribbled on a napkin or fancy journal. It can be burned, discarded or saved for a life time. Writing is a tool to honor our selves, to respect or forgive how we feel without repercussions. Tears are a segment of our natural beauty and aught never be apologized for.
