Tear - This fluid appearing in or flowing from the eye as the result of emotion
Ever felt like your tears were flowing back into yourself and you taste the saline down your throat?I might as well announce this: I can tear in a millisecond.
Ta-da! There you have it. I cry easily, anywhere, anytime. I shall not be ashamed of it.
Perhaps there are dozens of efficient neurons connecting my eyes/ears to my brain to my heart to my eyes, passing messages at 100,000km/hr.
Perhaps my hypersensitive tear ducts just have a life of their own and tear whenever they please?
Whatever the case, I shall not feel paiseh that I cried at King Kong no more. HMPH.
Am I too emotional when I cried while a friend was sharing about her stricken mother? Is it acceptable for me to cry when I feel touched by a courageous deed? Will I be perceived as a nutcase if I suddenly tear for no apparent reason? Can I just cry when I see suffering please?
I guess not. But I cannot help it. Worse, I look terrible when I cry. My eyes and nose turn red so easily :(
Got cure or not? *sigh*

On a lighter note, I think I smile as easily as I cry.
