Where I'm from, when a person cries and nobody wants to help all they say is 'myeke akhale ukhala izinyembezi akakhali igazi' which means 'let her cry, she is crying tears not blood.' After what happened today, I feel like a fool for ever believing that nonsense. I cried today because I realised there could be a chance that I wouldn't be able to make it as an author and tell my story to the world. Maya Angelou once said 'There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.' And she was right, my tales are a burden on me that is too heavy for me to carry on my own and they are crushing me. When I realised that I might not be able to tell these stories, my heart bled, I felt like I was being ripped apart limb from limb. My tears were not just tears, they were blood. Blood disguised as water. I realised today that tears are the most beautifull way to bleed
