I don't know how to cry

[haggling_parrot]

Independent of whether it’s a result of emotional repression or just getting used to my pernicious circumstances over time, the only thing that has made me bawl my eyes out in years is something as inoffensive as dicing onions. My former self was an overthinker, occasionally neurotic, and I don’t necessarily miss it or feel like an empty husk presently, but I suspect that I probably had my emotional range blunted from extraneous causes because there have seldom been moments after periods of self-reflection where I definitively came to the conclusion that I was psychologically compromised in some way.

took mushrooms and cried like a baby both times

there was a span of 10 or so years where I never cried because I had suppressed my emotions somehow.. these days that suppression has dissipated and the tears find their way out every so often..
