Crying is for everyone
Good day! It's nice to be back, I am here again Laurenceuuu at your service! Just kidding. Lol. So a I am here to share my opinion and experiences since I read an article that really caught my attention, it is entitled "Boys don't cry?" written by @bheng620 . That article pushed me to do this so I can share my insights and perception about crying. So if you are new here, consider to like and subscribe.

Is crying has a gender?
As you can read on the header, it is not literally a gender. Fuguratively speaking, many people thinks that girls are ONLY human that has a right to cry. I am not saying that this is the fact but I am saying this because that is what people thinks and what's on their mind. Their mindset is thinking a wrong information.
When I am a child, I always heard and remember what older people say, "Are you crying? Then you are a gay." that's how people thinks that when you are a man, you shouldn't cry because you MUST look a like a strong person and not a weak person. Until now, at my age—17 years old—I always heard that phrase "You shouldn't cry because you're a guy not a gay". I don't believe on this phrase because we shouldn't apply it on our daily lives because if we apply it, you possibly live on a world that full of lies because I believe that Crying is for everyone.
I admit that me as a man, I'm also crying because I am a soft-hearted person. I remember that one time I opened-up on my friend (she's a girl) about my problems and I told her that I am crying and she said "It's okay to cry, because by crying, you can express your emotions and let go the pain" you see? She's a girl but she didn't even judge me because I am crying. Sometimes we should always choose the right person who will guide and go with you, a person that can understand you. Another one of my friends, she also asked me about something and suddenly asked me if I am crying but I refused to answer because I'm shy. But she noticed it and say this, "It's okay to cry, it makes you a real man" she's also a girl but they understand me. Lol. I can say that I am lucky to have this kind of friends.
Crying doesn't mean that you are weak, as a matter of fact, it makes you a real man or a real person because you are expressing yourself and feelings instead of living on your own world that full of lies. Maybe you are smiling outside but deep inside, your heart is crying and suffering from pain. It's okay to express your feelings because it will be more difficult if you kept your feelings on your heart because there's a chance that you can't even resist the pain that you feel and it leads to a wrong decision.
Also, it's hard to admit this but I will share it to you. Lol. I cried because of a woman, I really love her but she left without saying any Goodbyes and I don't know why. But as the time goes by, I understand what she wants and why she did it. I know that she did all those things not for her own sake but for me. I remember one of the lines on my favorite story on Wattpad entitled "He's into her".
>"Do you know why a man cry for his girl?
>"I don't know, why?"
>"Because he's into her, and I'm into you"
If you truly love a person, you can cry even you're a man.
What is the purpose of eyes and tears if you're not using it? You can cry because of pain, joy and sadness because crying is for everyone and it has no gender.
