In my grandfather's days and his father's days, it was seen as showing weaknesa. Crying that is. And if you where in a fight and losing, you best not cry as it just tells them to beat you more for showing weakness. My grandfather didn't want me to be like him in that sense but I am. After having those things in my life and then losing most emotion, it kinda fell into place one night. I was lying there in bed angry and then realizing the truth about certain things started to laugh but eventually that laugh turned into a cry and I forced myself to laugh and cry at the same time. Because after all that, I thought it was funny I could still cry. There are people who have been through way worse, so to the ones who haven't ended up like me, keep on staying on the good side of yourself, because you make me proud.
