What is something (could be a quote, story, movie, book, or anything) that always successfully made you shed a tear or even bawling your eyes out?
There is a movie called The Notebook. Honestly, I haven’t rewatched this film, but every time I remember the story, it always makes my heart ache.
Habibie Ainun shed my tears
Sabtu Bersama Bapak.
There are actually many, since I'm a Feeler type of person. But here's a lyric in the song "Hellevator," "I hold out my hand but there's no one to grab it."
I find that lyric very painful, and it always manages to make me sad every time I hear it. As someone who struggles to ask for help from others, it took a lot for me to finally reach out and ask for help from others. But if at that moment, no one takes my hand to offer their assistance.. ngl, I'd probably feel ashamed of myself.
“It's okay to feel overewhelmed, if it's too much for you, you can take a little rest. Cry out loud when the world gets ugly. When the hand that greeted you turned into a pointing finger, you can take a deep sigh and shout ‘This shit is fucked up’ because you are no different from anyone else. Why did you choose this painful and lonely road. Never forget the reason, even if time passes. I hope your dream won't just be left as a dream.”
Life is a non-stop struggle, sometimes, and when you hear something so comforting—you can’t help but to shed a tear.
