What I'm Reading This Week #33
Good morning to you! Friday is finally here and that's a good reason to take a hooky day. You know, for mental health reasons. 😁 Remember when it felt like you had to give an actual excuse when you wanted to call in back in the day? Then if you said you were sick and you really just wanted to go to lunch, a movie and maybe hit the grocery store on the way home, you had to pray you didn't run into anyone from work to bust you, like it was illegal or something. 🙄 I guess that's something that's changed for the better is not having to lie about why you're out. The workouts this week have been absolutely kicking our butts! We thought the band workout was hard then I was like "we should do Powerstrike to see where we are". Remember that dream sequence in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd puts the dude's heart in a doggie bag, folds it up and hands it to the guy? It was like Powerstrike doing that with our asses. Then the followi...
I am definitely a cryer!! Luckily my parents are too so they didn't ever give me a hard time about it because they were usually crying at the same things I was. My brother did not get the crying gene so he always looked at us like we were crazy.
ReplyDeleteThe family that cries together bonds together, I always say! (Well, not always but I just did.)
DeleteI have never been a cryer until I started creeping up on menopause. Now I have feelings and can't wait for the menopause to be over and go back to being the soulless ginger I know I am.
ReplyDeleteDarn those hormones! ;-) Hoping you're back to soulless ginger status sooner than later...all those feelings. Bleh!
DeleteDefinitely a crier. My family always says I cry 'at supermarket openings'. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that it had a negative connotation and the implication that my feelings weren't real. To this day I get teased if I tear up - no matter the cause.
ReplyDeleteYou have found your brethren, so you cry away! There is NOTHING negative about crying, it's far worse to keep it all inside whether at a sad movie or a supermarket opening.
DeleteI used to be a crier at the drop of s hat when I was young. I didn't understand the strong emotions I had and it was not okay to express too much joy or anger in any way, so it came out in tears. In recent years I went the opposite route and pretty much shut down any and all tears (PTSD has a lot to do with that for me) and I could describe my feelings quite clearly but couldn't let myself cry because there was always the next thing that needed to be done. So the things that I should have been able to cry about were on a very long delay by months, if not years. I don't know if I have more balance today, or just a greater understanding of why my brain handled emotions the way it did in all phases of my life. I don't cry often now but when I do let go, it's a deep-well kind of cry.
