Releasing Endorphins - Cheryl Russell

People often see crying as a negative action we need to hold back from experiencing or showing. Crying releases the chemical endorphin that helps us feel good and ease physical and emotional pain. I wanted to reflect how crying can can bring us come back from an alien state, connect us with others, and can give us a sense of well-being as we release and share our feelings.
