What does it mean when you can't cry? Not because you're stoic or strong, but because somewhere deep in your body, the message was carved: *stop before I give you something to cry about.* This was the reality at age twenty-seven-a grown adult who'd forgotten how to let tears fall. The body had learned its lesson so well that even alone, even safe, the waterworks would shut down before a single drop could escape. So began an unusual experiment: a crying date. Hot tub, headphones, sad songs, and a repeated mantra: "I'm safe enough to feel what needs to come." Twenty minutes in, as Sade crooned "King of Sorrow," something shifted. The familiar tightening came-that impulse to swallow it all down-but this time, there was a conscious choice to relax the face, soften the chest, breathe. What followed wasn't pretty or Instagram-worthy. It was convulsive, shoulder-shaking, belly-deep sobbing. Years of suppressed hurt rushing through like a dam finally breaking. This moment reveals something revolutionary: healing doesn't happen in our heads. It happens in the tissues that remember, the muscles that hold, the tears that were never allowed to fall.
