What makes you cry?

[@}-}rebecca----]

Eureka!!!

Carried Away

I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe in chasin' crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darlin' when you come around

I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away.

It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars, the same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore.

Now, I can go back to shampooing the carpets... If I don't lose 10 pounds today, God really has it in for me.

Oh my , it's country music ........ http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c224/rebecca000/22.gif

“How Many Tears Will It Take”

I thought our love would be infinite past the end of time.
I loved you with my whole being and that wasn’t enough.
We tried and said; maybe we could do more next time.
However, fate dealt us a loosing hand and it was rough.

I ask myself how may tears will it take before I forget.
Your tender kiss and the way we made love to each other.
I see your face in everything I do; it’s so hard to forget.
But there is no us and I must move on and find another.

I prayed to God, “Please help and mend my broken heart.”
Help me dry my tear and find a way for me to love again.
He took my hand in his and tranquility overtook my heart.
He then led me to you and gave me a reason to love again.

There will be no more tears when I lay myself down tonight.
God’s love guided me to you and I can feel your love for me.
My heart is healing and I know everything will be all right.
Because when you kiss me, it ignites the passion within me.

I hate to cry in real life, particularly when I'm dealing with real life. It seems weak to me. I don't like to think of myself as weak or being accused of trying to manipulate and so on.

So I try not to cry at times like that. It doesn't feel emotionally safe to me. Sometimes I fail. When I'm really angry and feel I can't get through to someone particularly is difficult.

When I'm very tired and should already be asleep, I cry involuntary tears. Also when I'm gaging or impacted.

BUT I let myself go during a movie, hallmark card commercial, wife swap, Extreme home improvement and so on.

Another place that I find difficult not to cry at is live performances. I feel all that energy building up and knowing what it takes to put on a production, feeling the energy flow between the audience and the performer(s) I just can't help it.

At a Jazz club not long ago, I had a perfect Toreador kind of moment. It was art that was so emotionally touching and beautiful to me, I cried in a soft way all through the set, mesmerized.

That time I didn't even feel much embarrassment because it was just as it should have been. My tears were as much my tribute and appreciation to them as my applause.

I also cry at most weddings. That shit is so crazy emotional and stupid crazy to me.

Of course I cry at funerals and not just from loss but also because of how angry the BS words and ceremonies make me.

I cry a good bit, I suppose. In movies it's a safe release. I feel I have a great well of tears that needs a release valve.

Me too, when I'm really tired.

I cried at the Sting concert last summer, not just because it was so neat to be there with my kids and Sting has always been someone high on my list of people to see, but because it was the weekend before my surgery and I had no idea what kind of tumor I was facing. I spent most of last summer crying, in fact. It was often just spontaneous... I would just start crying for no reason.

The strangest thing happened with Jane one day last summer. She and I had gone to see the surgeon for a follow-up appointment and after she wanted to eat at Chipotle. I'd never been there before. We got in line and they started shouting out to me "What kind of meat?" "What kind of salsa?" "What this?" "What that?" If you've never been there, it's really rushed and they herd you through the line really fast so you'd better know what you want. I burst into tears and stepped away from the counter and told Jane she'd have to handle ordering for me, it was just too much for me. I was overwhelmed. Poor Jane, she was really stunned by my behavior. Neither of my kids had ever seen me weak and vulnerable before.

Child birth--I can't watch any child birth scenes on TV or a movie without crying and thnking of when my own children were born (happy tears, I enjoyed labor and delivery)

Anytime in a movie where the love and/or sacrifice that a mother does for a child is shown (I cried during the Incredibles )


The book Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. (that parent/child bond again)

Yesssssss!!!! I had both my kids naturally, nothing for pain until the Lidocaine for the episiotomy. It was the most moving experience of our lives... mine and their Dad's. He was super for me through the whole thing and he is the best father, best parent, in fact.

OOOOOh thank you, Missy!!! I could almost be a country fan with that song and it conjurs up such sweet memories...

Pretty words. Is this a song? And if so, who does it?

Man, I've been where Jane was that day. It really blows your mind to see your Mom or Dad vulnerable.

When I'm tired, really tired due to lack of sleep I also have strange muscle spasms.

I remember after a week at Girl Scout Camp as a leader, I was so exhausted. It was a good tired though. I just kept crying at every little thing.

I always without fail cry at an episode of futurama. It's the one where frys dog waits outside the pizza place for him for the rest of it's life, all sad and alone...

In apollo 13, when they come back safe and sound. When I think about the babies that I've lost and the dark and hopeless fears and pain of our infertility. I cry during arguments, and when I cant explain myself. I cry when I feel people are laughing at me. I cry when I'm afraid of the financial problems we're having that are getting worse.

I was hoping this would be a more "crying when you're happy" thread but I know how you feel.

There's a big difference between being teased and being made fun of. And we both know that difference, don't we? I like being teased. Teasing is a sign of affection.

On the other hand, I know when I'm being made fun of. I try to make fun of myself before anyone else has the chance to. I think it's less painful.

Me too, Crystal...ESPECIALLY when i feel like i can't explain myself or i feel the other person isn't listening.

 

[Cheshire D]

I haven't actually cried those good tears in a while, but I get choked up in a good way a lot.

Harry Potter flicks.

I hate the flicks, but the books...yeah. Choked up on every one of them at least once. I am SO very looking forward to (and not looking forward to at the same time) Deathly Hallows.

Any epic battle scene, where it's good versus evil and the good guys are all like "RAWWRRRR"....Lord of the Rings is probably the most guilty of this, for me. The new "The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe" is in a close second. Related to this...any last stand battle, like the one of the end scenes in "Serenity". Again, Lord of the Rings is guilty of this too.

When I see, right in front of my eyes, people of my generation, helping others without any seeming provocation. An example being my university's response to the Virginia Tech shootings; it was an overwhelming response of "We're halfway across the country and right here for you." (Hang on, getting choked up again.)

I'm sure I'll add to the list when I think of stuff. EDIT: Magic post. (#123) Making a wish.

God I do that too! Make fun of myself before others do.

I also cry when I'm angry but have no way to resolve the problem.

This does...

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

 

[xxCrystal4314xx]

I tend not to cry at happy stuff. I've never cried at a wedding, and I doubt I ever would. Plus, being a wedding photographer, it'd make for poor pictures

Wonderful thread, ADR!

Very intense orgasms...

Films and literature which probe in depth the pain and joy and heroism of being human (the latest: The Lives of Others . Other examples: I cried during the full last 3rd of both Inarritu's Amores Perros and the last book in Samuel R. Delany's Neveryon series.

The youth with whom I am working to set up a peer provider clinic, when they do something that makes me proud or when they surprise me by their compassion and lack of selfishness...

In church (I'm Unitarian Universalist) when a reading, song, or sermon caresses me at my core...

Topping, when I look into my bottom's eyes and we experience a depth of spiritual/emotional/sensual connection...

P.S., ADR, am assuming that's you in the new AV? You look lovely!

Thanks. All my AVs are me in one form or another.

I love to laugh so hard I cry. Not long ago I was in the car with my kids and Jane was driving and I was in the backseat. I was talking to Michael about something I thought was really important to his future. He was being very polite and endulging me. We got into some road construction and Jane said "I wonder how long this will go on."
From the front seat, Michael replied, very dryly, "What? The road construction or this conversation? I'm up for either of them ending real soon."

I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

Not very many things. M being really sad. Brokeback Mountain.

Whenever people, even ones I don't know, post messages about putting down a cat or dog, the waterworks come on full force.

 

[serijules]

I mostly cry in frustration or confusion. I am easily prone to both with my hearing loss and it gets to me a lot.

 

[myinnerslut]
