When was the last time...

[Black Steph Curry]

In December. My momma, dealing with increasingly unbearable pain, was taken to tha er n unexpectedly diagnosed wit stage 4 breast cancer, prognosis was 2 weeks to live. By tha time she came home for hospice care her brother (a minister) and mother, my grandma and uncle,came
(her mother came all tha way from Toronto and i live in tha south) to take care of her in her last days. At first tha news was numb to me but those last couple days when they were singing hymns at her bedside got to me.
It was more than a sad cry, it was angry cry. I was pissed tht she was taken from me so quickly and without reason, i hated tht tha only two modes of her existence were either crying out in excruciating pain or being a drugged out zombie from all tha pain meds, i hated that i couldn't even have a proper conversation with her to 'tie up loose ends' so to speak and leave nothing unsaid when she passed.
After that she died and i haven't cried about her, or anything since. Not even at her funeral. It's all been numb to me. It's crazy how life will switch up on u like that.

As a child I used to cry a lot. Whether it was from bullying, beatings from parents, I would bawl my eyes out lol. Everyone always told me how annoying and sickening it was, and it isn't like they were wrong, I guess. So at some point, before I'd say, 13, I told myself I would stop crying because boys (men) don't cry. I literally conditioned myself to visualize the tears being unable to escape my body. Years later I was messing with a girl in college who told me she cried all the time and she asked me when I last cried. I told her it had been years.

Years later I was going through something. I actually wanted to cry to get the frustration out, but I literally couldn't. It was mildly frustrating, but just kept it moving. Unfortunately, I feel the next time I will cry will be in circumstances regarding death.

I'm unwinding mentally as of late...

I was getting teary-eyed watching Black Panther earlier today.

Watching my youngest daughter acting out the Let It Go scene in Frozen a couple of weeks ago. Reminds me of when my oldest daughter did the same thing when the movie first came out.

I’ve been an emotional wreck since having kids .

Brehs i cant eem remember. My girl has asked me that a few times the past couple years, I cant recall. It has to have been double digit years ago, prolly when I was a kid

I feel like this Slim Kid3 verse from "Y?"



Sometimes this world means everything to me
The insight is lovely through these eyes I see
And sometimes in my mind all I wanna do is cry
highly offset but nothin drops from my eye
Thoughts rain out my skin
Cuz I'm pissed from within
I see a situation now and all I do is grin

I cry regularly in private when and where no one will notice. It's a great form of stress relief, I usually use this Fresh Prince scene to generate that feeling. Crying regularly has been good for my mental health.

Same but I couldnt even bring myself to cry at my closest aunts funeral a few years back.

When my wife and I got the call 4 years ago that the home sellers accepted our offer. So thankful that tears had to come down my cheeks.....
