Disco Was Like The Celebration Of Music

Crying Is Not A Weakness. It's Something That Should Be Able To Work For You. It Should Also Be A Strength. I Think If You Can Cry When You Feel Like Crying It's A Strength. If You Feel Like Crying And You Can't Cry, That's A Weakness. That Means You're Holding All That Stuff Inside.
