It doesn't look quite so precious when you're pushing 40.
At the airport Monday, I was struck by the number of crying children who were old enough to speak and communicate their needs, but instead wailed.
Instead of getting irritated and leveling the parents with a deadly gaze, I instead wondered: Is crying a natural human reaction that we simply are conditioned away from by societal pressure?
Recently I’ve been under a lot of stress and while I’m not typically a crier, the thought of just sobbing when I hit my limit seems like it would be very cathartic. I am considering field-testing this with difficult clients, demanding colleagues, exhausting friends, slow-moving strangers, and anyone who happens to cross my path when I need to pee.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
