sometimes being weak is a virtue.

For the longest time I despised crying in front of people. I never wanted for anyone to know that I was weak and human. God forbid anyone think I'm less than perfect. So last year I realized hmmm maybe some of my friends really do care about me and they will let me be weak in front of them and won't judge me.
So I had gotten into this habit of crying alone like in my bed or in the shower or something. But there is some mysterious healing power of crying in the arms of someone who loves you and cares for you. Whether it's a parent, spouse, friend, cousin, whatever. There is just something about it. The ability to just be completely weak and having someone take that weakness and just hold you in their arms and let you bawl your eyes out until you calm down. For someone to just embrace you and comfort you in such a way. It makes you feel secure and at home.
This blog is just kind of short and sweet but I just want to inspire you all to just find someone that you can trust. Find someone who will protect you and comfort you at the weakest points of your life. I don't really suggest having it as more a one sided thing but someone that you will protect if they need it and they will protect you when you need it. I think that God is a great lover and so intimate but I think that he put other humans here to give us physical comforts and that he can use to show us more of him. There is a fine line in having God use others and making others your god. But, all I'm saying is there is something just completely healing and amazing about crying in the arms of a great friend.
