This morning I watched a video on Instagram where an elderly woman was celebrating her birthday alone in a restaurant and all of the other patrons stood up, came over and started singing happy birthday around her. I’m definitely not fighting tears over it again right now
One of my students performed a monologue she had written about being a girl on a co-ed soccer team and how the boys were jerks to her. She ended it with "yeah I run like a girl, just try to keep up." and y'all I WEPT. Like full on tears in the middle of 15 5th graders.
My husband wanted to make out before bed and after about 30 minutes, I burst into tears because I was too tired. Accidentally made him feel so horrible that he waited until I was asleep and then slept on the couch. Then I cried 3 times watching the Lindsay Lohan version of The Parent Trap. Once when the twins discover they are twins, once when Hallie goes to London and sees her mom for the first time, then once when the mom realizes she has Hallie and not Annie.
I looked at photos of my 3 year old’s first Christmas in 2019, which was the last holiday we spent with family because of the pandemic (I have very medically vulnerable family members, toddlers are naturally disease ridden, we’ve seen family since then but avoided winter holidays because there’s usually a surge). Such a widdle baby!
Then I watched Lady Bird and bawled the whole way through. My husband’s review of the movie was that it was “ok.” 😂
I'm crying over a classical music song I've been listening to for nearly 20 years. I first played it in high school band and my instructor explained that it was written by a man trying to escape Russian oppression, and although he eventually breaks free and is happy, everything he endured still haunts him. I always thought the song was epic, but now those closing drum beats get to me.
