The second best place, I find, to cry openly undetected, thereby avoiding unwanted concerns, is a pier. You won't stick out, as staring out to sea isn't that uncommon and tears are a typical reaction to the sting of salt on the breeze. Fellow pier folk will leave you be, alone with the past and the uncertain sea.

On Clevedon Pier
The second best place, I find, to cry openly undetected, thereby avoiding unwanted concerns, is a pier. You won't stick out, as staring out to sea isn't that uncommon and tears are a typical reaction to the sting of salt on the breeze. Fellow pier folk will leave you be, alone with the past and the uncertain sea.
