I think crying is fine. It’s a physical release and so often we don’t allow ourselves enough release.

What this quote is talking about is not staying in the “crying cycle” because the sadness and the mental depression will keep you from seeing joy even when it’s right in front of you. Think what it’s like to drive and a downpour starts. Whereas you could see ahead of you perfectly, all of a sudden there’s only a sheet of water in your face. Your wipers can’t get rid of it fast enough. There may even be streaks of mud splattered all over the windshield too.

The result? You can’t see squat past your own inner environment. If there is constant water and mud coming from somewhere (your tears), you’ll never notice when the sun comes out. You won’t be able to see the beauty all around you. The cycle continues.

Allow yourself to have a pity party when things aren’t going well. That’s expected. It’s normal. But consider putting a time limit on it and get your family and friends to help you stick to it. You can make it as long as you want so you don’t feel picked on. Everyone adapts differently.

You want to see the sun shine again, don’t you?
