Pushing Through Tears

There you are, with tears-soaked hands pushing against an invisible doorlike you're trying to open a world that won't budge. It feels personal, like someone spilled their heart and now they're trying to shove it back through. You'd use this when someone's hurting in silence, but still trying to get out of the mess.

It’s like you're trying to get through something huge but all you have are your tears-soaked hands pushing against an invisible door as if it's the only thing standing between you and what you really want

This emoji feels like a post on social media where someone is sharing their deepest sadness but also showing strength because even though they’re crying they're still trying to push through

At work this could be someone who’s been fighting hard all day and now they're just breaking down with tears-soaked hands pushing against an invisible door like the office walls are keeping them from escaping

In a relationship it might look like someone who's been longing for connection but instead of finding it they’re left with tears-soaked hands pushing against an invisible door that keeps getting taller every time they try to go through it

Kids might use this emoji when they're trying to get out of bedtime but their tears are so strong they turn into a full-blown sobbing battle with the door itself
