The Tear Duct Factory

I am a tear duct factory.

This is not a fact unknown to anyone who has ever spent more than an hour in conversation with me. I've almost certainly ended up crying about SOMETHING and I'm still trying to work out now whether this is a good or bad thing.

Cons:

I can't express myself properly. When I get too angry, I start crying. When I get too happy, I start crying. When I get too excited, or sad, or nervous, or frustrated or emotional... Australia ceases to have a water problem and needs to build an ark.

It's embarrassing and frustrating.

Here's a recent example. I was going to do some psychology interviews with the army recently. I had to answer some questions on paper and then discuss my answers later with a psychologist. One of the questions was 'Do you cry easily?'


















True Story.

Pros:

I'll leave it to Zooey Deschanel to explain




So.... moral to the story is. If I get into the army, I'm going to be the crying-est, most tender hearted, badass officer there is. 

And I'm okay with that.

  1. On a serious note, it will be hard to get through life if you cry a the drop of a hat. Nothing wrong with being sensitive, but as an adult, you really have to control your emotions if you end up crying, especially when you need to express yourself in any high pressure or even regular environment.
