You can probably guess...

Alright, so I didn't really enjoy this blog post assignment... But I'm laughing at myself now because I SO knew this would happen. Yes, I absolutely cried. A lot. During the first five BuzzFeed posts, I was thinking, "Hey, I'm doing pretty good!" I got to number 6 and started to feel tears forming in my eyes... Number 8 pushed me a little further... By number 10 (the special day for the dying dog) I am SOBBING. After that point I couldn't tell if I was crying because of any of the next posts or if I was still a mess because of number 10 (probably both). I decided (just to see what would happen) to take a break for a minute and calm down, then I reread the first few BuzzFeed posts: I cried immediately.  I felt a little ridiculous and wanted to read other posts to see how y'all did... Congratulations, now I just feel more ridiculous! I knew this would just be the worst idea ever, but I then decided to try my luck at the Disney post. (Disclaimer: I haven't even seen Dumbo, Bambi, Old Yeller, and many others of these because I don't think I could make it through), but, as you can probably guess, I still cried! There's not very much more to say about that.

I think I'm just an emotional person, (and maybe I bottle up all my sadness until certain moments), because I cry at almost everything. Just about every Disney movie (even the non-sad ones) makes me cry. Commercials with puppies, babies, old people, horses, orphans, homeless people... I cry. I'm not sure if it's always cathartic, but I think there are many things that definitely are cathartic to me. Music gets me sometimes ("Cost of Living" always makes me cry), books and stories get me, and movies ("Inside Out"... holy moly) are probably the worst for me. Now that I think about it, I think shows (like plays or musicals) can be the most cathartic for me. I won't go into a lot of detail about this, but certain moments that I've seen on stage have sent me into tears so unexpectedly, it's crazy! I think a lot of that is because that's what I do, and I know what that feels like to be totally vulnerable in front of a bunch of people, so watching others do that pulls at my heart in a big way. I don't really know how to put it, but it's a good feeling (not like what I'm still feeling after number 10, yikes!). I'm gonna end it at that and hope that I'm all out of tears for a little bit haha!
