PSA since the #SobSquad tide has been rising lately: you 1000% don't need to push yourself into any more of your emotional stuff than you feel ready for. you're protecting yourself from that stuff for *good reasons* and that's worth honoring. it's good to protect yourself!

I've spent the last weeks writing about crying. I keep talking about vulnerability, now it's time to walk the walk.
Over the last ~1.5 years, I've intentionally become more comfortable with crying + started using it as an emotional processing tool.

What the fuck is this convention of telling people "Don't cry"?
It's literally bad advice. I'm not gonna be polemical about it. It's just... bad advice. Like telling someone who's hungry not to eat.
