Have you ever cried uncontrollably on a friend's shoulder?

I've definitely cried on someones shoulder, mainly when I was a child, but I'm trying to think of the most recent example. The time that springs to mind was quite a while ago, I don't cry unless there's a real reason or need really nagging me. In fact the last time I shed a tear, I blogged about it - momentous! So the person whose shoulder I was crying on was also crying. It was a strange situation, the question asks for a friend's shoulder. I didn't really know if this person was my friend or not. I definitely wanted them to be, with all my heart. I think that's enough.
I often think about that moment, most days actually. Sounds kind of sadistic right? It definitely was a life changing moment. I think despite what was going on at the time, if that moment never happened I wouldn't be the person I am today. And that's a person I am happy with. I don't really know why I think about it so much. I think it's because nearly every day I see the place where it all took place, and every day I think about this person because it makes me feel strong. That life is worth the effort that I try to put in.

Sometimes from sadness, something positive can come. Like a cactus growing in sand, a strong resilient plant that stands tall whatever the weather, grown in desolation and in poor soil. Next time all you can see is sadness or loss, make sure that in your mind, there is some hope in knowing that things will get better, there just has to be some sort of effort or strength. And in that knowledge, you've taken the first step towards a better path.
