A Good Cry

Sometimes, I just need a good cry. It's never pretty, and it can be exhausting, but once it's over I feel so much better. So much lighter

It can be for any reason, ranging from real life stress to drama on one of my favourite shows. Or, and these are my favourite, the just because cry. 


Just because... 

it's raining when I thought it might be sunny.

Jay ate the last of the nacho chips. 

Jay ate the last of the ice cream. 

The laundry needs to be folded. 

I can't find my favourite shirt/sweater/coat/jeans/etc. 

This list could go on forever. 

I particularly enjoy the just because cry, on the floor in the bathroom, in the dark. I find the more drama I add to it, the better I feel later. Plus, Jay can't ignore me if I've hurled myself on the floor and closed the door, and really if I'm hysterical I probably want someone to spoil me with attention, at least a little.

My last good cry, came courtesy of the now infamous How I Met Your Mother finale, oh and I cried during two of the episodes leading up to it. 

The details of the episodes are mostly irrelevant and to a degree disappointing and don't deserve a lot of attention. However, it was the finale of a show I've been watching for 9 years, so it was hard to say good-bye. 

Oh, and there was a wedding and vow renewal. Did I mention I'm getting married before the end of April?!?!?! 

So, these were 'just because I'm getting married in a few weeks and weddings are beautiful and Jay's not paying close enough attention so how will he know what our wedding has to be' tears. 

Ugly tears. 
Loud tears. 

Jay thought I was faking, until I looked at him and he saw the hot mess that was my face. 

Afterwards, I felt relieved. Reassured. Relaxed. Rational. 
Of course our wedding won't be like that, it was TV show. That doesn't mean it can't still be beautiful, and Jay will probably even know what to do without paying attention to HIMYM. 

I might be a bit of a drama queen. 

Am I the only one who likes a good ugly cry every now and then? When was the last time you were truly hysterical over something silly?

  1. Why do guys always eat the last of everything?! There is an empty pint of ice cream right on top of the trash this morning here!

  2. Girl, I know exactly what you're talking about. Just the other day I started crying on the drive home like a crazy freshly-broken up teen. The thing that set the water works off? A song by Brian Adams lol. Cr-a-zy shit. But its like you say, you always feel better after a good long, ugly, cry.

    Also, I know how you feel about the end of HIMYM...I sobbed for like 2 days after the series finale of Friends. Its like my BFF had died after so many years of being together. *sigh* We'll always have re-runs.

  3. I don't really like to cry because I feel like I do it all the time and I just can't control it. The last time I ugly cried epically was when I read Emi's Lost and Found. The book BROKE me like I had a terrible hangover headache the whole day!
