# The Sincerest Sign of Truly Caring <span style="font-size: 13px;"> <span style="color: black;">Planted:</span> <span style="color: gray;"> 01 October 2025</span> </span> Before this year, I couldn't have told you the last time I cried. I can't remember it at all. In contrast, I dare say I have never cried as much in my life as I have this year. And along the way, I realised something about this emotional expression: **crying is beautiful.** Whenever someone close to me cried, I used to say what many people do in those moments: "Don't cry. I'm here," or something along those lines. I think you get the picture I'm trying to paint. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that crying is, presumably, the sincerest sign of truly caring about something. And that is an incredibly beautiful thing. #thoughts
