11 Movie Scenes That Like To Tug At Your Heartstrings

Buzzfeed recently released an article listing 14 movie scenes that have definitely left us all "scarred for life" and with good reason -- they're creative masterpieces! Personally, my inner child is still not over the death in "Bridge to Terabithia" and that's just one of the many movie scenes my heart has yet to heal from.

I mean, you know you're watching a great movie when you find yourself deep into your emotions while trying so hard not to cry and giving yourself a headache in the process. Although those 14 scenes never fail to leave us sobbing hysterically, 14 is just not enough. Neither are 11 more since we all know the list is endless -- and so are our tears. Anyways, here are 11 additional heartwrenching scenes you've probably watched and will never forget. Cue tears.

1. When the young boys in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" meet their end together.

2. When Artax sinks into the Swamp of Sadness (i.e. the deep abyss of death) in "The Neverending Story."

3. When John Coffey is executed in the electric chair in "The Green Mile."

4. When Little Foot's mother passes away after her battle with a T-rex in "The Land Before Time."

5. When old age and sickness takes over Carl's wife Ellie in "Up."

6. When Widow Tweed leaves Tod behind in "The Fox and the Hound."

7. When Harry says goodbye to A.J. in "Armageddon."

8. When Will Smith's only and long-time companion Sam is choked to death in "I Am Legend."

9. When, in "Interstellar," Cooper watches himself in the fifth dimension leave Murphy and tells her to not to let him leave. "Make him stay Murph!"

10. Or when Cooper is watching 23 years of footage after returning from Miller's planet. Double heartbreak.

11. When Snape's heartbreaking story and secret devotion to Harry is revealed as he is dying in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
