It's not that I don't want to sit down and cry today. It's that I'm not sure I have it within me to cry.
Why can I express anger so much more easily than I can express sorrow?

@xinjinmeng Because we've been in a cultural atmosphere of considering sorrow and tears to be signs of weakness, and unlearning that is super difficult and even more so when the constant emotional assault is ratcheting up every day?

Well, that's one reason. At any rate, I totally sympathize.
