LET IT OUT

4 years ago I got a message from someone whom I hadn't talked to in a very long time. "Haven't you heard...." I didn't think I would ever stop crying. And when I did finally stop, I felt numb. Eventually, with time and understanding friends and family, I started to feel normal and happy again.
Normally I like to pretend I'm hardcore and focused - I like to keep the fact that I cry during movies like Juno and The Family Stone a secret. I take risk, I jump out of moving planes, I want to work in the cold sterile environment of the OR, I run 42.2K for fun... But just when you least expect it, you're slightly sleep deprived and fighting off a cold, your guard is down. Someone mentions something familiar to that situation 4 years ago and all of a sudden you find yourself excusing yourself from the middle of class, crying your face off in the school bathroom...
But whatever, even Christina Yang cries every once and awhile, so yea, whatever.
