Homesick
Man this is a depressing QotW

Anyway, last time i remember crying was last year, on an expedition thing to Mexico. I was 16 then, it was the furthest i had been away from home by several thousand miles, and at a month in length was by far the longest i had spent away from home. I was ok for almost all of the trip, apart from one point half way through when i just got stressed out from having to share a room with 3 complete slobs (im a very clean person, half my family have OCD in some form or other), losing my sandals, and other little things that just pushed me over the edge, so i hid on a balcony where no-one could see me and cried. Only one of my mates saw and he realised it was probably better to leave me to it.

After i calmed down, i realised it had started to rain quite heavily (tropical Mexico, rainy season), so i just sat there with a book (Catch 22, good read) and watched the rain fall. It was one of the most peaceful moments of my life, having just let it all go. So if you ever feel the need to cry, do it! It can help relieve so much tension and stress.
