A lot of people my age are like “oh my great grandma/grandpa turned 90 this year!” And it’s like holy shit my great grandpa was born in 1873. My great grandpa would be 145 if he were alive. My great grandma is exactly 140 years older than me.

My great grandma is 86. She is 58 years older than me.
Yours seems more normal??

Okay, like my children have met her. They have met their great great grandma. She is 82 years older than my daughter. Great great grandma.

Why have I never processed this. I feel untethered.

Inky, my bub, my mother’s own maternal grandmother has lived longer than her only daughter, her own husband, and both of the men her daughter had married. She just turned 104 this year, and if my oldest niece should have a baby any time soon, she’ll have seen one of her great granddaughters become a grandmother herself. My mom is 63, older sister, myself and the niece are 41/30/19 respectively.

YOOOOOO. OH MY GOSH SHE IS A LEGEND. Talking to your bub would be like time travelling ahhhhhhhh that makes me so freaking awed!

I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally can’t hold on to all of it. So what I’ve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed

SHIT WHAT

Also let yourself cry. It really is a biochemical release valve to dump out all the chemicals that make you feel stuff.

I honestly think one reason men in western culture have so many problems is that we don’t let them cry, and literally their brains get stuffed with all this crap that doesn’t have a release valve. Men, please cry. You’ll feel better. It’s ok. You are not lesser for taking care of your health.

This is why tears from different emotions look different under an electron microscope. They’re literally made up of different things.

Happy tears are structurally different than sad tears than angry tears than overwhelmed tears etc.

I looked it up, cuz that tidbit was dope to me and..

Never would have known
