“Tears indicate freeing one’s self from grief. Crying never occurs unless a person needs to do it.”

i’m not sure. at one point i was playing with the idea that literally all tears are tears of grief. i’ve also cried at beautiful things and for me there’s a grief there about how ugly everything is the rest of the time
