From @words_of_women: Someone recently told me 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. It’s why we feel more stable after crying, as if whatever emotion we were feeling had been released and we are refreshed. This is also why tears from different emotions look different under an electron microscope. They’re literally made up of different things. According to Joseph Stromberg of the Smithsonian’s College of Arts and Sciences, happy tears are structurally different than sad tears than angry tears than overwhelmed tears etc. Different types of tears have distinct molecules. Emotional tears have protein-based hormones including the neurotransmitter leucine enkephalin, which is a natural painkiller that is released when we are stressed. #Repost @davidshrigley @nathanwpylestrangeplanet 🙌🏻 💜#unpleasant This is one of the best things I’ve ever read. Somehow an article ostensibly about death manages to completely encapsulate so much LIFE. AND it was written by my friend @michellelangstone. Thanks for writing this Miffy. You’re the ducks nuts. Definitely did not cry with life affirming abandon while on the x trainer this morning. Read it fam! link in bio @radionewzealand ❤️ Every time I go to articulate feelings using social media, I find it difficult to get past the irony of using such an at odds medium to express them. The irony of trying to articulate human ideas using a profoundly inhuman platform is not lost on me. Therefore human stuff is best articulated FACE TO FACE with an actual human. I find social media increasingly difficult to navigate. Sometimes I want to throw the whole thing out, other times I live for the Snapchat filters and cats. I’m living away from my buddies overseas and I love this window into their lives! But I have problems with how other people use it, to spread their brand of orthorexia and to make money from stupid shit that makes people feel bad. I guess it is so ingrained in our world now that it’s not going away anytime soon, but maybe we can shift the balance of how much time we spend on SM vs actually showing up for ourselves and other people we care about. To conclude, SM is ultimately frivolous bullshit which is cool as long as we don’t forget it. Don’t stop with the Snapchat filters cos I love them.
