Why do I gotta cry?!?!

Ever since I was a child I have been super sensitive and in touch with my emotions. I guess you could say that I get it from my Dad. He would always tear up during certain parts of movies, and I would always catch him! 

Well, I guess it all started when I watched Charlotte's Web for the first time EVER! I must have been about 5 or 6... That movie was SO DAMN SAD! I held up all my emotions.. didn't shed one tear and bit my lip so it couldn't happen. My dad saw that the movie was over and sat next to me and said "HOW DID YOU LIKE THE MOVIE SWEETIE?!?" I looked at him and EXPLODED into tears! Like someone killed me from the inside! My dad started to panic and was like WHATS WRONG?!?! WHAT HAPPENED!?! I was hysterical, and my dad felt so bad that he let me watch that movie. But it wasn't his fault, he didn't know that I was gonna cry! It was about a stupid pig and a black widow!

But ever since that moment, and now that I am older I am even MORE sensitive! Almost any movie will make me cry! I just watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button and tears are rolling down my cheeks! I hate being so damn emotional! What is it that triggers this? Am I a wuss because of it? I can't get through the ending of Big Fish without choking up. Forrest Gump is another one that gets me every time. Then there's Ghost, Beaches, E.T., and Armageddon. Not to mention ANYTHING that has to do with animals! All Dogs Go To Heaven, Fox and the Hound, Lion King, City Slickers (when the cow is drowning), Bambi, ETC.  

Geez I am such a softie and I can't help it! What's wrong with me?!?!

BTW The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a really good movie, If you haven't already go see it! OR JUST WATCH IT AGAIN!

Smile

Smile, though your heart is aching,

Smile, even though it's breaking.

When there are clouds in the sky-

You'll get by.

If you smile through your pain and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through

For you.

Light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness.

Although a tear may be ever so near,

That's the time you must keep on trying,

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile,

If you just smile.

Those lyrics are those written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, to the music written by Charlie Chaplin. How Ironic that the lyrics were written to a song by the man who made millions of people laugh.... and the lyrics couldn't be more accurate. Why go through life being sad or angry, there's more to life if you smile through the hard times!

This song brings happy tears to my eyes when I listen to it sometimes, Yah yah yah I know, Im a big sap!

But it makes me happy knowing that its okay to smile and I know that happiness is contagious!! 

Make someone smile today, it could make a huge difference!
