Being emotional means a bad day can feel like the end of the world but a simple, nice gesture makes your entire year.
You're sentimental, yet sensitive, about everything! Sometimes it seems really unfair because you don't understand why your body's first response to a situation or circumstance is to cry. Sometimes, however, you know it can mean that you have a passionate heart and a lot of empathy for others. It doesn't always have to be about guilt or shame or weakness. Crying is an emotion we all endure but as annoying as it can be, it can be just as refreshing.
If you're an emotional person then you know what its like to get a lump in your throat about the smallest but most human things. Here are ten different things that you can relate to if you're the person who has to buy waterproof mascara because you know you're shedding a tear a least once today:
1. Kids aren't always our favorite human beings–let's be honest, they're pretty annoying.
Their innocence, however, is something to admire and almost be jealous of because it's so pure you can't help but say "Awwww!"
2. Even typing in the words "military homecoming videos" into youtube has you reaching for the tissue box.
Oh yes.
3. Elderly couples who have been together for an obscene amount of years.
It gives you the hope and tears you needed for the love you hope to have.
4. You can't look me in the eye and tell me you don't turn into mush when it comes to baby animals of all kinds.
Told you.
5. When nothing seems to be going right in your day.
You can't find a parking spot, you're late to work, and your boss doesn't understand that life happens and interferes with your plans
6. When you try explaining yourself to someone but you get so frustrated that you start crying.
And that someone now thinks you're weak but you're really just trying not to punch them.
7. When you take a moment to listen to the Dixie Chicks.
And feel
8. When you settle in to watch American Idol. but a contestant has an emotional backstory that tears you in two.
But also has you feeling super grateful for the life you have but so happy for them to be in a place where they can now audition on tv.
9. When you think about how grateful you are for your parents and how they have helped you immensely to get you to where you are today.
Yeah, moms are annoying and dads don't always understand, but you can't wait to give them back tenfold of what they've provided you.
10. When you're overwhelmed with the amount of work you have to get done.
But know that graduation is around the corner and no matter what your anxiety tells you, you are going to make it in this big, beautiful world, dammit!
