The good cry. I know I am treading on sacred girl ground here, but there are times when I am so thankful to the good cry that I feel like I should publicly thank her (yes, I assigned the good cry a gender, and of course she is a girl) so here it is my love letter to my dear friend, the good cry.
Girls you know what I am talking about, that cry that gets out all of the little frustrations that alone don't deserve a cry of their own. That cry that you will sometimes plan for when you have a moment to breakdown so you can bring yourself back. That cry that lasts a couple of minutes because nothing is actually wrong you just need a release. That cry that doesn't come from tragedy or sadness but from day to day living. That cry that makes you watch Beaches on TNT for the tenth time. The cry that sometimes you didn't even know you needed until you are laughing at yourself for crying at a Hallmark commercial. That cry that has the comfort of a good friend, the happiness of a piece of chocolate cake and the rejuvenating power of a great bath!
Guys you may be reading this thinking I am crazy, but ask ANY girl in your life and she will tell you about the "good cry" and while she is talking you will notice a smile slowly cross her face, and her eyes will close dreamily for just a split second because sometimes just the thought of the good cry can be enough.

I don't have many claims to fame, but the "snort wall" and being able to cry at anything are definite things people remember me for, so I can truly attest to the need and, dare I say it, the absolute inability to stifle "the good cry". I am also of the belief that no one should cry alone and if I'm in the room, you won't be wiping tear streaks off your face and asking if you have "raccoon eyes" from your cheap Walgreen's mascara because you'll be able to see your reflection on my face. I don't want to be THAT sensitive, I just AM. Thank you to "the good cry" she has served me well and served me often!
