Do you cry?

I find myself crying a lot nowadays. I'm not ashamed of it, I feel like its natural to weep when I have the feeling to weep...But I wonder if im mentally stable I guess.
My life situation isn't ideal at this point but I know it will pass and I keep working to improve the areas of my life that I believe will improve my future.
But in doing so, I seem to be falling into a bigger hole because I've created a whole new persona in the past couple years and I'm dealing with the baggage of my old self which I imagine would be living pretty well from a societal standpoint if I stuck with it.
Ultimately I felt like I wasn't living life my way, so I rerouted and now I'm dealing with the repercussions.
I feel like I'm content with everything but I guess I don't know if I'm lying to myself or not.
So the thesis to this post...Do you think it's better to have a stable life and not pursue your imaginative desires, or follow what you deem to be your "calling" even though you may never get it and completely fuck yourself from a societal perspective...Because to me that's important too.

Ever since finding out about a year ago, that my mother has Cancer, I found myself breaking down quite a bit for the first 6 months or so, now it still happens, but I find it's other things that trigger it.
You know? A note played a certain way, or something said...
Hard to describe.

How can I not with the level of intelligent posting here? I am winding down and want the next generation to be sci-fi super people and instead I get you guys.

Not to be insulting, but is this really the best your generation has to offer?

I sometimes feel as if I'm about to during movies an tv shows. Not just sad stuff but also things that are inspiring or beautiful. Seriously came to tears a few weeks ago when I watched the futurama episode where fry finds his old dog and the last scen the dog is laying in front of panuccis waiting for him year after year. I seriously bawled over that shit.

I feel ya on your whole post. Some music really gets me..A Perfect Circles "Mer De Noms" CD makes me cry whenever I'm in a melancholy state.
It sucks that we have to watch people we care about go through hardships like cancer..

Crying is just a bunch emotion you built up coming out all at once. I love crying because you feel better after its like purging.

Goodstuff OP. I think crying is a great source of emotional release and we shouldn't be so ashamed of it. When i was young i taught not to cry so its a rare occurrence for me.
As for your other dilemma its all dependent on how much of a risk you are willing to take, whatever you chose i would advise to brace yourself for any possibility that may come with it including a downfall. The amount of sacrifice we are willing to make is subjective so don't know man you really have to figure it out for yourself.

I would say you offer a lot in self-deprecation, honesty and humor.
That is pretty damned good!

No, never. I'm far too tough and manly to ever cry.
...Except at the ending of Cat's Cradle.
