This Woman’s Powerful Message About Crying in the Shower Is Going Viral
>Ever find yourself having a good cry in the shower—partly because it's the only place you feel free enough to let go your feelings? Brittany Latham knows what that's like.
>This 30-year-old photographer from Mobile, Alabama, decided to share an image of a woman crying in the shower on Instagram, captioning it with inspiring words that has hit such a chord, it's already racked up hundreds of thousands of views.
>“For the woman whose husband makes an ‘extra stop’ after work every evening,” she started the post. “For the woman who is mourning the loss of a pregnancy that nobody else knew about.”
>Latham continued calling out other cry-worthy scenarios, like losing a job after staying home with a sick child, breaking up with a partner, or enduring unsuccessful IVF treatments. She made it clear that she understands the stress and heartache of these and similar situations.
>“For the woman that lives with quiet anxiety because nobody understands what you could possibly be stressed out about,” she wrote. “For the woman that gives to her family all day everyday and just needs a break.”
Latham ended her post with a message directly related to the photo. “For every single woman that cries in the shower so that nobody else can see. Because if you aren’t strong, nobody is. Just because the water washes your tears doesn’t mean that you don’t cry. I am you. I see you. I am with you, I cry with you.”
Her emotional post struck a nerve. Within days, it went viral on Facebook and has garnered nearly 400,000 reactions and more than 400,000 shares.
Latham tells Health that she was motivated by her own life and other women’s experiences. “The inspiration behind [this] was a collection of various things that I have experienced as a single mom, married mom, and mom of two babies lost to miscarriage,” she says. “I spend a lot of time with my friends and hear their struggles and I thought how resilient women must be sometimes. A lot of times we are the only backbone.”

In more than 60,000 comments, people celebrated the beauty and power of her words and image. “Wow...I saw myself in many of these words and yes the sun did shine again on me,” one respondent wrote. “This is truth,” said another.
Latham told us that she was shocked her post connecting with so many strangers. “I write a lot of pieces and very few make it out of my journal, so I was just as shocked as anyone when this thing went viral,” she says.

Why are you salty? You rather her do drugs or visit shit imageboards rather than vent it in her own shower in privacy? You rather her build it up and take it out on you later?
Oh wait, you've never been in a relationship so you don't get why this is a good thing. Cry more about some cunt crying.
Charles Ward
Crying makes you strong in woman logic
Thomas Sullivan
Not crying means bitchy women to deal with in mans logic. THey aren't men, they need to do this. You're all autistic and have never touched a women.
Asher Hill
Found the roaster. Maybe she should put on her big girl pants and woman up ;^)

>racked up hundreds of thousands of views. >this is what people actually call journalism

there is nothing wrong with crying, it's a good way to release emotions
Jason Smith
I wasn't talking about her specifically and that isn't what you were crying about.

Connor Robinson
fat cow wants people go notice her tits but pretends it's about something else. why do they do this?
Carter Morales
SLAAAAAYYYYY
The virgin stronk woman vs the chadette curled up shower cryer
Zachary Bell
But I have autism and therefore I never have any emotions, i'm strong.
Mason Ward
Women cry over stupid shit because they have no self-control. They try to make this appear like a strength, but it's actually just a weakness. If you're crying in a shower "because nobody understands what you could possibly be stressed out about" then you're a weak little idiot.
Adam Davis
It's not as good as dealing with you problems.
Benjamin Adams
Now post the picture of the fat man crying in the shower and all the social media posts about how meaningful and powerful he is
bred for sexual pleasure and child rearing. remove the vote.

YEP >but we're totally equal everyone, and men need to stop being men and be more like women >oh you did that? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING INCEL!!!!
Hunter Walker
What the fuck do women have to be depressed or anxious about? The entire planet revolves around them. They have the cheat codes to life. And there is no such thing as a lonely woman, just self-destructively selective women.
Ethan Ramirez
I call it "I've fallen and I can't get up"
Nathan Reed
Theyre just children. They have no concept of what the real world is.
Lucas Nelson
The correct term for this is "Blubbering".

>implying most of us here don't suffer from all of those things Shower crying isn't going to help.

Colton Allen
Tl;dr all that crybaby progressive nonsense, but oh boy is that running mascara making my dick diamonds.
i feel very sad and deal with anxiety and depression at times, yet I haven't cried in a long long time. That doesn't make me stronger, it's just my physiology.
Mason Miller
What did he mean be this?
Aaron Morris
CRYYYYYYYY
Joshua White
Holy shit, someone is keeping that poor creature in their bathtub?! Baby whales belong in the ocean not to keep as pets, what happens when it out grows that tub?!!
Christian Reyes
Wrong

This is why we need #Kanye

I'll take "Mental Illness" for $500 Alex!

>“For the woman whose husband makes an ‘extra stop’ after work every evening,” Considering the image, can you blame him?
Dominic Rivera
Oh okay. Well go back to crying over nonsense, I guess.
Dominic Roberts
Where do you think you are, user? Those things you listed are why most of us are still here.

this is cancer
Blake Clark
Also what's wrong with this? I make an extra stop after work almost every week night
I miss the pre-social media internet when normies wouldn't really bother.
Dylan Nelson
i'll fuck her while she's in the shower crying
Logan Bell
and that's a good thing
Hunter Cruz
t. 16 year old dicklet going through his first breakup
Sebastian Perez
We don't take them seriously. That's why they hate men so much. They're a bunch of immature bitches who hate each other because they're jealous, and they hate men because we recognize how immature and bitchy they are.
Jason Miller
It's not the female weeping that the OP is salty about, it's the fact that it's being taken seriously.
Jack Hernandez
What a freakout. You must suck dicks.
Gavin Evans
You bunch of fucking idiots. You really think we are salty because the bitch is crying in the shower? That's not the point of the post. We're salty because people think THAT is journalism...
Joshua Morales
This guy gets it. Crying about something without taking action is a waste of time. Men solve problems, women cry about them and then do nothing unless telling everyone that they cried about it counts (it doesn't).
Oliver Collins
Idiots don't realize this.
Juan Wood
>powerful Women don't seem to know what powerful means. Tired of this meme.
Oliver Cook
>Latham continued calling out other cry-worthy scenarios, like losing a job after staying home with a sick child why do people read this shit
Carter Williams
Is her husband's extra stop at McDonald's?
Jason Hill
Powerful
Christian Jones
You know I actually feel bad for these cunts No one bothered to tell them simple things like
Your husband won't fuck you if you become a hambeast
Your husband won't spend time with you if you are a complete bitch 24/7
Your husband won't respect you if you're a stay at home mom and the house and children are ignored
Your husband WILL cheat on you if you fuck him once a month and act like he is winning the lottery
No one outside of the internet give a single fuck about your feelings
The internet is not a good source of validation
Kayden Watson
Having careers they are unfulfilled by but told that they should feel empowered by them. And the occasional rape/molestation trauma
Luke Rodriguez
Fucking weak victims. Like women do nothing wrong. For cling cunts.
