When a relationship ends, the whole “we can still be friends” idea causes lots of doubt. Although you try to be mature, you know being friends isn’t the best idea. What do you do if your ex wants to be…
Venting and connecting with yourself doesn't mean you're weak, it means that you know your limits and abilities. Crying is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Sometimes you just get tired. You reach the limits of your strength and you let go. But sometimes crying isn’t a sign of weakness. It doesn’t always mean you’re giving up.
Sometimes there’s nothing to do but just give yourself that release, because you’re tired. You’re tired of being strong. You’re tired of life’s demands, and sometimes the people around you don’t seem to realize how much you give in exchange for so little.
Don’t carry the weight of the world on your back. Only carry what’s truly essential for you. Never forget that your heart needs its own personal space too. Cry even when you don’t need to, because strong people know how to let themselves have these moments.
Maybe you were brought up with that idea that tears are best “swallowed.” Or that life is tough and crying isn’t good for anything. Over time, this idea can cause very serious emotional problems.

The truth is that are just some days when you’re fed up with being strong, of carrying everything on your shoulders. In those situations, crying isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s just necessary.
No one can give more than they have. It would be impossible to provide happiness and warmth to your loved ones if they didn’t give you attention or love in return.
The key to all this is balance. To be strong and to deal with everything the day brings you, while also fulfilling these goals (and remembering the hardships you have to face) it’s important to keep firm boundaries.
