Sugar Coated Tears

Sugarcoated Tears Think about the taste of your tears. Is there really a comparison to a slice of your favorite cake and a spoon of salt? Reminisce on those moments of joy or pain as you taste the moisture from your eyes. Although our tears protrude from our eyes, the water--whether sweet or salty--pours from the soul. Usually this purge is necessary for a healthy emotional human. Sugarcoated Tears is a combination of salty life decisions and sweet decisions that were worth every calorie. Journey with me as we skip, hop, run, jump, sleep, and cry through my life--a life of joys, miscarriages, divorce, suicide, depression, exotic dancing, and ultimately, homelessness. Through it all, I cried cake and salt, and would I do it again? Yes. Every tear has made me who I am today. I am a true believer that in order to taste the authenticity of your true self, you must swallow the sour even when forced. Never give up on yourself! Enjoy the tears...
