Have you ever awaken in the morning and felt blue? An overwhelming feeling just takes ahold and all you want to do is cry. Have you ever awaken and wondered why? Why didn’t I get that job? Is it because I’m a woman? Why did I have kids? Why didn’t I have kids? Why did I get married? Why did I get divorced? Am I crazy for these feelings I feel? Why am I crying? I need to stop crying, because crying makes you feel weak. Don’t it?

Well, all these feelings happen to everyone and just because you're female doesn’t mean you're weak. Just because you cry doesn’t mean you're weak. Crying is the body’s way of expressing sadness, joy, anger or fear. It’s cathartic. It’s natural. And because you typically don’t see men crying, doesn’t mean that they are incapable. It doesn’t mean that they are stronger than you. It doesn’t mean they can not feel weakness or be vulnerable or express sadness, joy, anger or fear. A male's response may be different from a female's, simply because of our chemical make-up, plain and simple. Not because they’re stronger. Not because women are weak. On the contrary, some may say that we are the stronger sex.

So, crying doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. It makes you more empathetic. It makes you woman and if that is our "only" flaw ;)…I say hell yeah, I will cry any damn day for any damn reason because I am woman. And since today is International Women’s Day and the day without a woman, let’s see who will be crying when we don’t show up to work…or make your dinner…or take care of your loved ones…or hush your babies to sleep. I invite you to cry with us because a day without women, is a sad day indeed.
