I was just making this sketch of my oc Tiashi and it got me thinking about how much we as a society are opposed to crying in public. As someone who’s life isn’t the best at the moment, the pressure to hold it all together while I’m out in public or with other people just makes it worse and more likely to come out at the smallest thing when I’m by myself. I think this is especially bad in schools. School is such a stressful environment, yet it’s so embarrassing to be seen stressed or upset in school and can easily destroy your reputation. I mean, I don’t know how many times I’ve tried so hard not to cry just because I feel like everyone would look at me or judge me. So, yeah, normalise people crying in public, because sometimes you just have to let it out. Anyway, sorry for the rant, I just wanted to get it out there.
