What if your tears aren’t a sign of weakness, but proof that your heart is still alive, open, and capable of deep healing?
“Don’t ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.” ~ William P. Young
Tears are often misunderstood. We’re taught to hide them, apologize for them, or wipe them away before anyone notices. But as William P. Young reminds us, tears are not failures of strength—they are expressions of the soul. Sometimes the heart has emotions too deep, too sacred, or too tangled for language, and tears become its voice. They help us grieve what’s gone, soften what hurts, and water the seeds of joy waiting to rise again. Tears don’t just fall—they release, cleanse, and make space for new beginnings.
