From my experience here are some recommendations:
Brokeback mountain (cried because of love)
Lion (cried because of the whole story path)
I origins (cried because of the realisation)
Her (cried because of sense of loneliness)
Weekend (cried because of the future)
Hidden figures (cried because of the achievements)
The help (cried because of the racism and the empathy)
A silent voice (cried because of the mental struggle)
Prayers for bobby (cried because it was too late to regret what was done)
Or Maybe i’m just an empath 😅

from gut wrenching to a light tug:
mustang (2015)- made me cry twice in one watch. (disclaimer: a lot of turkish people have mixed feelings abt how this movie represents turkish culture so watch with a grain of salt but also remember misogyny does in fact exist everywhere)
la chimera (2023)- there is a looming melancholy throughout the whole film but the last 30 minutes really did a number on me
thelma & louise (1991)- gut wrenching in a beautiful female friendship kinda way
lars and the real girl (2007)- the premise looks silly on paper and tbh it is but it still made me cry in the end nonetheless (maybe i’m just a dweeb)
haru (1996)- early internet bonds. also more on the lighthearted side of things but tugs at the heart.

Ok but fr..
If you liked Worst Person in the World then watch… Weekend (2011)
If you liked Eternal Sunshine then watch… Punch Drunk Love (2002)
If you liked Anatomy of a Fall (I haven’t seen it yet) then watch… Force Majeure (2014)
If you want to be moved, a James Ivory film is always reliable in that department. My favorites are Maurice 💔❤️🩹 (hugh grants floppy hair should have won best supporting actor) and Room With a View ❤️🔥 (Beauty! Joy! Love!)
Misc. movies that made me cry:
-Harold & Maude (1971) it’s a classic!
-Moonlight (2016) I mean cmon yeah
-Handmaiden (2016) always rocks my world
-Petite Maman (2021) you’ll want to give your mom a hug after
-Short Term 12 (2013) early Brie Larson and Lakeith Stanfield… underrated imo
-A Monster Calls (2016)… it’s a ya/kids movie but made my mom and I both sobbed in the theater lol

I can’t find the Creator and i am mad about it because i wanna credit the one who made sure to put this for free.
I’ve found this website RetroPrint where they show the details of how you can make a Windows 95 customised theme on your phone (with over 800 icons app to choose from 27 of them are already made for the modern apps like netflix twitter etc - some graphics for the widgets too And 3 sounds.)

If there is one style that literally calms me is stippling.
The endless dots, the slow process, the nuance effect, the final results.
I just love it and appreciate it even more when i spend hours/days to finish one.

The fact that i can stay in bed warm with my phone or laptop and music in the background as i watch my favourite movies/series/youtube vids with a warm tea is simple enough to make me grateful for wherever i am today.
Worrying about what I should wear to work is a beautiful thing because it’s a privilege that sadly some people can’t afford :(
Complaining about to cook is a beautiful thing because someone somewhere sadly can’t even afford/have access to a simple bread piece.
Literally feeling the warmth of the sun while standing waiting for the bus is a beautiful thing to cherish and be grateful for.
