I'm extremely sorry but it just IS the case that earnest spontaneous crying is the path to softness, a looser being, and an open heart and that that IS a precondition to a number of things you most likely want

“fuck it, we bawl” i am OBSESSED with that lmao so good 😭😭😭

#sobsquad was a whole thing on my twitter for awhile, i dialed it down eventually but i still do believe in the power of a good cry esp. for men

i should say, my twitter and also a bunch of other people who got hype about it, and also i wasn’t the guy who came up with the term

Replying to @QiaochuYuan and @_jordan_bates
