So. Many. Tears.

Growing up, I was never really a weepy person. I certainly never cried in movies or shows. I was told once (by a boy) that I was heartless because I didn't cry at the end of The Notebook. Spoiler alert: it is really, really sad. The end. 

All of a sudden around my second year of college, I became a freaking basket case. I will cry at basically anything. Happy, sad, if there is any amount of "feeling" for the person or character portrayed, the water works will surely turn on. Ugh.

This week was no exception as I came across a slew of very emotional videos.

The first is happy, sweet, and exciting. It shows "Peter Pan" proposing to his real-life girlfriend and stage-love "Wendy." Here's the link to the article that goes into more depth about their story (it's adorable). But here's just the video itself:

The second is emotional for the opposite reason. It pulls on the heartstrings, it's sad, it's inspiring and I was a MESS when watching it. Beyonce fulfills a 12-year-old girl's dying wish to dance and sing with her. Bless Beyonce. Bless this little girl. I gotta go cry again. Bye. 

And in case you aren't in tears yet, here's one more of people just doing really wonderful everyday acts of kindness. All caught on the dashboard cams of Russian citizens (dashboard cams are mandatory there). 

It never ceases to amaze me how much emotion media can evoke in people. Whether it's happiness, sadness, pain, anger -- pretty much every human emotion across the board. It's incredible to me. I think the ability to empathize with others is one of the greatest aspects of being human. I both love and hate it when media is able to have such a profoundly emotional effect on me. 

Crazy.
