i received a lovely request an unspecified but long amount of time ago, asking for memes surrounding the theme of crying! i hope that, should the delightful nonnie find this list, they meet their expectations! as always, sender is the sender of the meme, receiver is the one receiving the meme! bon appetit!

dialogue prompts.

" you know, they say that crying has all these health benefits. "

" oh, sweetie/buddy... what happened? did someone say something to you? "

" are... are these good tears? or bad tears? "

" chopping onions, huh? yeah... i've heard that matchsticks can make you cry a little less, you know. "

" you never need to apologize to me. ever. and certainly not for crying... "

" there you are! i was... hey... what's the matter? have you been crying? "

" you've got a little mascara stain... you wanna talk about it? "

" oh, love... i wish i knew what was hurting you so badly. i wish i could take away all that pain from you... "

" you don't have to be so... stoic, all the time. crying isn't a sign of weakness, you know. "

" you heartless ass! you won't even shed a tear now?! "

" tears? seriously? how pathetic... "

" you can't just keep it all bottled up, you know? you gotta let it all out of you, otherwise you'll just explode. "

" it's okay... you go on ahead and cry. i've got you... "

" hey, uh... come on now, huh? don't cry. it'll be okay. "

" why are you crying? "

" it's okay. i've been meaning to wash this sweater, anyway, so go ahead. maybe you might squeeze out a couple tears of laundry detergent, while you're at it? "

" i told you. this could only ever end up in tears. "

" sorry. i... i never know what to do when people start crying. "

" you look like you could use a hug and a box of kleenex... "

" you don't have to be so strong all the time. i can be strong for the both of us, if you'd let me... "

" you know, i don't think i've ever seen you cry... "

" some people just don't cry that much. it's not a big deal. "

" oh, love/buddy/kiddo, it's okay... it's okay, you go ahead and cry. let it all out... i'm gonna be right here when you've finished. "

" i... i don't know why i'm crying... "

" no, no, i'm okay!! i'm better than okay! these are happy tears! "

" i'm just... having the worst day. ever. "

" i'm just so tired of pretending everything's fine! "

" god, i'm sorry... i'm sure you didn't mean a shoulder to literally cry on, right? "

" i'm sorry... i'm getting your sweater all wet. "

" of course i'm crying! i thought i'd lost you! "

" you... you won't tell anyone, will you? about me crying? "

" i, um... i didn't know where else to go... "

" thank you for listening to me. and for the tissues. and the tea... "

" god, this is so embarrassing! i hardly ever cry... "
