Not too serious, something from a movie or show or book, or a pet peeve, or anything. Just something that has no business making you so dang sad.

" Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart… or that sometimes, I just wanna let ’em." - Nimona (from the movie of the same name). That is a pain I understand all too well.

Bagpipes, especially when they’re playing Amazing Grace, but I’ll cry over Scotland the Brave, too. They just make me cry. No idea why. I’ve never been to Scotland or anything like that. Makes parades kinda awkward.

Whenever I come across one of my children sitting by themselves, contentedly playing with a toy or reading a book by themselves, just peacefully enjoying the day. I make sure to pause and drink the moment in, and it makes me all misty eyed to think of how sweet and lovely they truly are.

Any movie in which an animal is hurt or passes…..like Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom - I CANNOT watch the clip where the Brontosaurus is standing at the edge of the water as fire encroaches…..I know it is not real but I cannot deal with it. Humans passing in films….meh, has no effect.

Reading or hearing about abuse, whoever or whatever the victim, but especially children and animals. Heart breaking lack of empathy shown.

The movie “Hachiko” and Futuramas “Jurassic Bark”. Anything sad with dogs..real or fiction.

when I can’t fall asleep on time. My parents made me get a scheduling app so now I plan my weekdays and sometimes weekends. This includes me sleeping very specifically at 10 PM or 22:00. sometimes I don’t and if the time gets too near 11, I start feeling like a growing sense of discomfort that turns into panic. Sleeping an hour later has no business making me this uncomfortable but it does and idk why. Do any other pandas experience the same thing?

The movie “Schindler’s List”. Knowing that it is a true story made my eyes all watery. Same with “In the Name of the Father”. The Guilford Four is such a sad true story.

The Color Purple, the 195 movie by Steven Spielberg. When the sisters are separated and they yell the name of each-others… Aaaaand i’m crying.

Commercials that show the horrible animal cruelty that is out there. I know they are designed to raise awareness and hopefully generate donations, but they still hurt my heart so much. I do help with rescuing around my area, and have never bought a pet in my life. I rescued all of mine.

Hearing the United States National Anthem. Downvote all you want but I love my country, appreciate our fallen and current service people and am terrified of the future here for our children.

The scene in ¨Love and Basketball¨ when the mom turns to her daughter and says, ¨When I said he could do better, I was talking about you.¨ Also, the ending of the children´s book, ¨Goldy the Dollmaker,¨ by M.B. Goffstein. Best. Book. Ever.

The movie “The Big Fish.” The old man, played by Albert Finney, reminds me of my grandad. The ending makes me blubber every time.

The book “A Child Called It.”

The car scene in the sixth Sense where Cole is telling his mom about what’s going on with him and he tells her the story about her mom. I’ve probably seen it 10 times and I bawl like a baby every single time.

Braveheart always makes me cry, what’s worse, I don’t even have to see it, the soundtrack by James Horner and the song Freedom are enough for me, I know exactly what’s going on during this song and it makes me want to cry.

When You Come Back Down by Nickel Creek. Also, the book The Kite Runner always makes me cry. Oh, and any time an animal is abused. There’s this Pixar short on Disney+ called Kitbull that has an abused dog, and it always brings me to tears.

Weddings. Funerals. Onions. Soldiers coming home. Some movies and books, even when it’s not the first time I see/read it. I no longer can read/watch real crimes; they make me cry too much and give me nightmares. When I’m really, really scared (doesn’t happen too often nowadays). When I did PT for a terrible accident (12 years), I was crying all the time; it hurt a lot even with pain meds. When I’m super duper happy I will also cry, like when I held my granddaughter for the first time.

Being yelled at by my mom’s boyfriend. He doesn’t control my life. Nothing I do is his business.

A lot of songs make me cry, especially if they involve someone’s dog dying. If you need a good cry, here’s a few suggestions: “Yaad” by Bloodywood; “Cinderella” by Steven Chapman (you will cry even harder if you look up the story behind the song); “1916” by Motorhead (I love the cover by Sabaton); “Happier” by Marshmello; “How to Save A Life” by The Fray (I can’t listen to or watch the video anymore, it hits too close to home).

Some movies like K19, Armageddon , The good dinosaur, which remind me of my deceased father. I miss him so much!

There is a video on youtube showing the arrival of a coffin during a funeral in New-Zealand. That was a beloved professor in a boys college. And all the students do the Haka in front of the hearse, a powerful farewell and then the silence and they let pass him. I cried many times to this. I’m not even from New-Zealand…

Backstory: My new hyper fixation is PJO ⚠️SPOILERS⚠️ I almost cried when Bianca passes bc she was such a sweet girl and deserved better, and Nico’s reaction left me bawling (whenever he told Percy he hated him bc he though Percy let Bianca die) I also cried over how heartbroken Annabeth was when Luke committed suicide bc he needed to defeat Kronos, also bc Luke knew the right thing to do

People doing good deeds we don’t deserve these people these people help us because they want to I don’t even deserve them. Then the people who do stuff like that on camera (example mr beast) I appreciate them and they all started somewhere I was watching some old Mr beast vids and I was like some people don’t deserve to be rich (example billionaires who donate nothing and keep it to themselves) we need more people that will help people there are a lot of people who are incapable in helping themselves for various reasons or don’t know how to help themselves but we can help them.
