Same same same, is boring boring boring

It seems that tears always have a tendency to fall in the same places over and over again, throughout humanity, especially in indie songwriting. Let’s go over these really quick:

1) Cheeks- Located right under the main source for tear ducts the eyes, who can blame anyone for getting tears on them?

2) Pillows- Do people often hold their frustrations in until the end of the day, only to have to sleep on a damp pillow for the rest of the night?

3) Rivers- Okay so they don’t end up in rivers as much as they make rivers, but who can cry a river anyway? Highly unlikely. 

4)Shoulders- Now I am assuming these are not your own shoulders, it would be really hard to get these on your own shoulders. Unless of course they were on your cheek first, and then, well that would just be double cliché. 

5) Letters- Who even writes these anymore anyway?

6) Eyes- This is the most logical of all places for tears to be, I mean, it is a good thing that our eyes already have saltwater in them because tears end up here a lot. (This is typically where mine do)

But in all seriousness, what does this say about our western society and crying? That it is a romantic whimsical notion that we all experience (for the most part). Does it represent the idea that we all know there is something bigger than ourselves out there, to show what happens on the inside on the outside? Our willingness to live in community, or without community of another human being? That we shove it into our deepest darkest moments with only ourselves?

Maybe there is nothing to it except for we. all. cry.
