Hi, my name is Regan Perkins! 

I am 23 years old, born and raised in South Georgia. I graduated from Indiana Bible College in 2024 with a BA in Biblical Studies and a minor in Christian Leadership. 

I’ve always believed there is great power in the words we speak and write. There is power in testimony. And that’s really what Happy Tears is all about.

Throughout this site, you will find thoughts directly from my heart, words that I have clung to in my pain, and stories of how God has taken my brokenness and made it beautiful.

Typically, when you hear the phrase “happy tears” you may think of tears shed out of joy. And that is part of what I had in mind when I chose the name, but there is another side to it.

To me, Happy Tears represents both tears of joy and also tears of hope. Maybe the tears you are crying right now are tears of sorrow and pain, but we can find hope in knowing “weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”

I started Happy Tears to be a light, a reminder that pain doesn’t last forever. There is joy waiting at the end of your sorrow.

So whether you find yourself deep in the valley or standing high up on the mountain, I pray Happy Tears can be an encouragement to you.

Love you always!

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. - Psalm 34:8 KJV
