“Sometimes, I find myself
listening to sad songs because
all I really want to do is cry.”
Sometimes, I find myself listening to sad songs because all I really want to do is cry. Not just let some tears slip from my eyes. But sob. Let it all out like the world is coming to an end. And sometimes I do. I just can’t hold back any longer, even though I try to resist it.
But when I’m left needing more than a few songs and a few tears, that’s when I know I’m in a dark place. Over time, though, I’ve learned that taking off the mask and letting the sobs wrack through my body is what causes the cracks in my skin to show. Through those cracks, there’s light. So maybe, after all, it’s not so bad to let myself feel what I need to feel. Because then I can let the light back in.

And we all could use
a little light now and again.

I usually listen sad songs, when I want to laugh at their bizarre lyrics.

Music does it for me. I know if want to cry, turn on Dig by Incubus, That’s the Way by Led Zeppelin, or Bittersweet by Big Head Todd and the Monsters. I’ll cry every time and it’s like a weight’s lifted off me.
