I’m thankful for being able to cry whenever I want to via /r/gratitude

For most of my childhood, I wasn’t allowed to express any emotion that wasn’t happiness. I would get in trouble for crying, so I learned to force myself to repress every negative feeling I had. This made me feel like a shell of a person. Now, I am in a much safer and healthier living environment with people who allow me to cry whenever without judging me or getting angry. I’m so grateful for this that I could well you know, cry!
