Go ahead and cry .

Do you ever wonder why we come into this world “crying”? Apparently, it is the mother who has to bear the excruciating pain and the baby comes out wailing. Well of course there is always a scientific reason such as this “immediately after the baby’s birth, babies are expected to cry within 30 seconds to one minute of their lives. This crying is necessary for the baby to survive because while inside the mother’s uterus, the babies do not take breath from their lungs. It is the umbilical cord which provides them with fresh oxygen and takes away carbon dioxide from their blood stream. Once, outside their mothers’ womb, the babies need to breathe on their own….blha blha blha” 

 And hence they cry. As much as I am all ears into biology, I have never been much of a science geek. I am more into the lighter side which makes me think that maybe…just maybe.. we are not too eager to be put on this earth.  

So you see that the very first emotion we learn to express is the art of crying. After our grand entrance or not so grand entrance, crying pretty much becomes our life time companion. As a baby we cry a lot, for instance…. (by the way I am not a mother yet), when they are hungry, cranky, sleepy, awake, sick  or just for fun. Irrespective of baby boy or baby girl, they cry their lungs out and then sleep in peace. 

I am a cry baby. Crying has never been so hard. I cry when I am sad, hurt, sick, angry, anxious, happy or watching a sad movie. My faithful tears are right there, ready to swim out. Well of course I try to refrain from crying in public, which I won’t mind if I didn’t had that small ego in me.  

But guess what, after I have poured out the pain in me, I am all new and ready to face the life with a smile on my face. There you go, i have said it, the secret to my bubbly character, "i am a cry baby". Bottom line, its ok to cry. After all the sun never fails to shine after a hearty rainfall. So whatever is holding you, let it go in the form of your tears. 

Whoever said that crying is just for the sissy ones….well ok…go ahead…and don’t you dare cry…let’s see who will last longer.

I reckon lions cry too…yet they are the bravest.
