Up until I was 27, I couldn't cry. Not even in horrible pain... I'd laugh if the pain got worse than screaming... used to really freak people out.
Then my daughter Sequoia passed away. Spent a few days in shock and then one of those sappy commercials came on and I just couldn't stop sobbing. I say that she broke my heart...wide open.
Now, I cry at the slightest provocation and I feel so much emotionally healthier for it.
I don't recommend this route to breaking the dam.
However, if one wants to break that dam... just watch Coco... If at the end, you're not ugly crying... get help...
