17 Unavoidable Things That Happen When You're An Ugly Crier

    Because sometimes tears are inevitable. And so, so ugly.

    1. Your face turns red.

    2. Your makeup starts to run.

    3. Your bottom lip disappears.

    4. As do your eyes.

    5. And then your chin crinkles.

    6. You try to hold in your cry, but that always backfires.

    7. And you know that people are looking at you, which makes reining it in that much harder.

    8. So you try to talk through it...

    9. ...But trying to pretend you're not crying is impossible.

    10. So you try to save yourself by putting your hands over your face.

    11. Maybe your head in your hands will work?

    12. You start deep breathing, usually to no avail.

    13. Then shallow breathing wins.

    14. At some point you need to just embrace the cry.

    15. You just have to let it all out.

    16. And then you remember that Beyonce is kind of an ugly crier, too.

    17. So you feel a little bit better.
