I didn't even cry during Les Miserables

I remember when I watched the movie Charly. 
It was terrible.

I had absolutely no idea what the movie was going to be about. I was an emotional teenager to begin with. And it was just me and my best friends.

I bawled. Seriously, I have never cried for a movie like I cried for Charly.

Tonight I watched another movie along those same lines.... Girl is a wild child and loves her life the way it is. Doesn't have a great relationship with her parents, but doesn't really care anymore. She finds out she has cancer, and then begins to realize what she wants most in life. Love, which she finds, creeps to the top of her list.
She goes through the movie being hurt. angry. fearful.
loved. appreciated. cared for.
caring. thoughtful.

I cried.
a lot.

somehow crying every now and then makes me feel better. even when nothing is really wrong.

I was reminded of how fragile life is.
how healthy and beautiful love is.

I am grateful for the strong relationship that I have with both my parents.
The wonderful friends I have- how i know that they would be exactly what i need, when i need it most.
The knowledge I  have of the gospel, and how happy I am for eternal families.


Sad movies make me happy.
