About this Event

**Let’s Let It Out Together.**Valentine’s Day is usually about the "perfect" romance. But for many of us—especially those navigating the hustle and loneliness of a new city—it’s just another day of carrying the weight of the world.Inspired by the 1994 masterpiece *Vive l’Amour*, we are reclaiming this day.In the film’s iconic ending, the protagonist sits on a park bench and cries for seven minutes straight. She isn't just crying for herself; she’s crying for everyone who feels invisible in a crowded city. Recently in Taiwan, thousands of people gathered in that same park to cry, laugh, and blow off steam together, to welcome the New Year.**This February, we are bringing that spirit to America.**### **

The Plan:*** **3:00 PM – The Gathering:** Find a spot (Sheep Meadow) on the grass, a bench, or lean against a tree.* **3:10 PM – The Release:** We will take a collective moment to be honest. Whether you need to whisper your worries, shed a few tears, or simply stare into the void like the film’s ending—this is your safe space.* **The Aftermath:** Once the tears are done, we celebrate the release. We talk, we laugh, we sing, and we realize we aren’t as alone as we thought.###

**Why Join Us?*** **Be Honest:** It’s okay to not be okay.* **Find Your Community:** Break the silence of the city.* **Be Kind to Yourself:** Treat your feelings with the same respect you’d give a best friend.Whether you are heartbroken, lonely, or just tired of the "Valentine’s Day" pressure, the city welcomes you.Welcome to be a volunteer and organize local event!**Let the wall (or the park) hold your truth for a moment. Then, let it go.** #ViveLAmour2026 #ValentinesDayCryIn #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #CryWallPlan @CryWallCommunity
