i do this with a couple in particular, whenever i feel like having a good crying session: the final scenes in call me by your name and normal people. it's pretty much automatic, especially with normal people. i know exactly what the characters are going to say and when, but i still cry every time. it doesn't matter how many times i've seen it. the scene will always carry the same emotions and be able to access the same ones within me. what a privilege it is to be profoundly moved by something.

So I just finished Normal People then rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind back to back and let me tell you yes they both tore me to pieces and were so so good. But i did not watch them at a time in my life where it could’ve been a lot worse. And yea it might’ve been cathartic to sob my heart out (I did still cry don’t get me wrong but very polite tears), I think I’m glad I was spared the heavy hit bc it allowed me to appreciate the show/film on its own.

I don't usually cry when it comes to films. I don't really know why. The most that happens is like this tight feeling in my throat cuz I felt so bad for a character, but the tears never form.
But Parachute broke that for me. There were many reasons why but I think the most prominent one is just how much Riley reminds me of me. When it ended I found myself hoping everything went smoothly for her, and also for myself.
I haven't rewatched it since, so technically this isn't really answering the question because idk if it will make me cry again.

we're all going to die one day. better to die with used notebooks than empty ones.
they don't need to look pretty. as long as you're writing, you're doing something right.

if they don't ask about your life, then they don't deserve to know about it. don't give away the lore for free. keep 'em guessing.

the older i become, the greater my desire to be more direct and less inhibited. i don't want to be consumed by fear anymore. life is too precious.
