Sometimes We Cry So Much That Whales Could Swim In Our Tears

Crying is an involuntary action that does not have to be done to be felt.

You externalize the tears and the tears are their representation; but you internalize them too, and then there is no image possible, just a knot in your body.

Both of these ways of crying involve hassle, and sometimes manage to suffocate you.

Crying that you can’t seem to come out of is normally the most real. 

You don’t know exactly how it happened, but you find yourself trapped in something you feel and think you can’t escape.

It then seems so inherent to yourself that you cannot guess the difference between your limits and hers: normally, you are stronger, but it always takes precedence over you.

The value of a tear

You’ve known the pain on your own skin and you know what it feels like when something has broken your heart: days that seem like months to you, months that look like years. A desire to live another day which is conspicuous by its absence. Silent nights listening to your cries …

The moral of all this angst can be assessed at the value of a tear: the essence it can have when you cry or when you see someone cry.

Chances are that one of your tears has brought you closer to someone else than a smile,  and it is possible that seeing the pain in another person has made you want to meet them and you. meet.

You know that you can recognize yourself in this  being and not be, will and not be able.

This is why you surround yourself with people who open up to you and let you know that they are feeling what you may have felt one day.

Tears bring us back to the truth of who we are as human beings.

You will get there, overcome the shipwreck

As the poet Garcia Lorca said, like any bone that breaks and the fruit ripe;  we are born crying, we take in the air to bring out what hurts us, and we take in the air.

This is why I know you will get there: little by little the knot will give way to other things that will teach you to know it and overcome it.

It will come undone and the pain will be one of the indelible marks of your passage on Earth.

He will accompany you wherever you go, but a day will come when he will be only what he was before and what he is no longer.

You will have overcome the shipwreck and then you will realize the reality of Paula Bonet’s words: sometimes we cry so much that whales might swim in our tears, but you cannot let them drown you. 

You won’t drown, even if you have water in your throat. You may remember that fire always exists because something must be done to compensate for the cold.

You will find, using all the strength in you, those people who can give you the warmth that you so lack.

And chances are you won’t even need the strength, learn that friends are always there without you having to ask, and when you need them most.

Don’t surrender, cry, but don’t surrender.

In life, you need people who get up from their falls, who learn to stand, and can tell us how they got there.

Life and others need people who, like you, are able to cry, and at the same time, understand their tears.
