Big Girls DO Cry!

"I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,
But I've got to get a move on with my life.
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry"

We all know this song. Fergie came out with this song shortly after leaving the Black Eyed Peas for a trial at the solo life. Nonetheless, if you take the time to read the lyrics, the song's about her breaking up with her boyfriend and how she's going to "man up" and not cry about it. Although I'm sure a lot of girls agree that this is the best way to deal with something like that, is it really? Is hiding the hurt and fighting the tears really the best way out?

 The answer is no. At least, in my opinion. But if you get to know me, you'll know that I always think I'm right. I guess that's what you get when you take the two most strongly opinionated people and have a child. So it's just no. But why, you may ask?

Think about it. When you cry, you get all those feelings and emotions out into the open. You sit there and cry and think about every bad thing that just happened. Then after wards, you feel renewed. Things don't seem as bad anymore. Crying gives you a sense of refreshment, which is something that is much needed during this time. I never really understood why people always hold back their feelings, for I'm a very big-hearted individual and one to express exactly what I'm thinking. Besides, bottling everything will up will more than likely make you crack eventually. When this happens, it will happen worse, because everything will hit you all at once. You really don't want that.

So I just thought I'd share what I thought about the subject.
So if you're feelin' sad, don't be scared to let those tears fall, bloggers. =)
