Why my goal this year is to cry more

Yep you read the title right. I want to be more emotional. I want to let more emotion come across my face. For the longest time I have tried not to cry because I felt that it made me feminine, because men never cry. I thought if they don't do it why do I? I felt that men thought that women would cry about everything and I didn't want to do that. I made a goal a couple years only to cry twice in the whole year. I think I cried 4 or 5 times that year, what a horrible goal. When I got hurt physically or was hurt emotionally I had to suppress it, so I wouldn't break my goal. After several years of doing this, you could say my bucket was almost full to the brim of emotions. They needed to spill out. If you get anything from this post it's to not hide your feelings, cry when you want to and be happy when you want to. I'm a naturally happy person and when I'm not bubbling with energy people get worried. The problem with being happy is when you're not at your high, people think it's your low and they're like you're not happy, are you ok? It's ok not to be ok but try to work on being happy.  Please don't feel that you can't express you emotion because of what you think other people will think. You let them win and they didn't even try, they didn't even know. So for this year my goal is to cry more. Mostly happy crying but if something bad happens and I feel like I am going to cry, I will. I cried at a comic on Instagram the other day and I was so surprised but it was so sad. My family hasn't said that I can't cry in fact they cry a lot more than I do. Even now when I'm ok with the fact that I can cry. Here's the comic that I saw:

The artist Jenny-Jinya makes comics about things that need to change and what is happening to animals and what they are thinking.
