Hey Pandas, What’s Something That Always Makes You Cry?
Not too serious, something from a movie or show or book, or a pet peeve, or anything. Just something that has no business making you so dang sad.

In the kindergarten group my kid goes to there are two kids that just absolutely break my heart. One has recently gotten into an orphanage (my best guess is that her parents are uhhmm... substance abusers) and another one is clearly ignored by her mom as much as possible (my best guess is that it's the mom's way to hurt the kid's dad because it got worse since the mom had another child by the village pusher (I wish I was kidding) and that kid gets all the attention). Those two kids break my heart every day. I just want to take them under my mom-wings and help them to have a good life. But I already have 3 kids and I just can't take care of more kids. 😥

Hurt. The song and video as done by Johnny Cash.

It's such an amazing song. The fact that Reznor pretty much said that it wasn't his [song] anymore after seeing Cash's video, says it all in my opinion. I had my own interpretation of the song before Johnny did his cover, now it's only his interpretation (or how I perceive it at least), and it's the closest I've ever come to understanding remorse. I swear, that man probably had the power to make the unfeeling feel, he damn near did it to me.

Bouche and Audi and Shyla, Oh My! (Submission author) 7 months ago
James Herriot, Yorkshire vet, wrote books about his experiences, the animals, and all. He got a call out on Christmas morning. A farm couple with two old Basset hounds occasionally had a stray cat come visit. Once in awhile, the cat would come in and sit by the fire for about fifteen minutes, then leave. She wouldn't accept food, wouldn't be touched. She didn't even hang around the farm. Just now and then, she'd come enjoy the luxury of warmth. This particular Christmas morning, the dying cat brought her kitten to the only safe place she knew in the world. As soon as the people opened the door, she put down the kitten and died. The couple wanted Mr. (Doc.?) Herriot to examine the kitten, and to show them how to care for him. This happened 80 or 90 years ago. I was crying as I was typing it out.

" Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I'm the monster? I don't know what's scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart... or that sometimes, I just wanna let 'em." - Nimona (from the movie of the same name). That is a pain I understand all too well.

Bagpipes, especially when they're playing Amazing Grace, but I'll cry over Scotland the Brave, too. They just make me cry. No idea why. I've never been to Scotland or anything like that. Makes parades kinda awkward.

Whenever I come across one of my children sitting by themselves, contentedly playing with a toy or reading a book by themselves, just peacefully enjoying the day. I make sure to pause and drink the moment in, and it makes me all misty eyed to think of how sweet and lovely they truly are.

when I can’t fall asleep on time. My parents made me get a scheduling app so now I plan my weekdays and sometimes weekends. This includes me sleeping very specifically at 10 PM or 22:00. sometimes I don’t and if the time gets too near 11, I start feeling like a growing sense of discomfort that turns into panic.
Sleeping an hour later has no business making me this uncomfortable but it does and idk why. Do any other pandas experience the same thing?

Commercials that show the horrible animal cruelty that is out there. I know they are designed to raise awareness and hopefully generate donations, but they still hurt my heart so much. I do help with rescuing around my area, and have never *bought* a pet in my life. I rescued all of mine.

Weddings. Funerals. Onions. Soldiers coming home. Some movies and books, even when it’s not the first time I see/read it. I no longer can read/watch real crimes; they make me cry too much and give me nightmares. When I’m really, really scared (doesn’t happen too often nowadays). When I did PT for a terrible accident (12 years), I was crying all the time; it hurt a lot even with pain meds. When I’m super duper happy I will also cry, like when I held my granddaughter for the first time.

A lot of songs make me cry, especially if they involve someone's dog dying. If you need a good cry, here's a few suggestions:
"Yaad" by Bloodywood; "Cinderella" by Steven Chapman (you will cry even harder if you look up the story behind the song); "1916" by Motorhead (I love the cover by Sabaton); "Happier" by Marshmello; "How to Save A Life" by The Fray (I can't listen to or watch the video anymore, it hits too close to home).

There is a video on youtube showing the arrival of a coffin during a funeral in New-Zealand. That was a beloved professor in a boys college. And all the students do the Haka in front of the hearse, a powerful farewell and then the silence and they let pass him.
I cried many times to this. I'm not even from New-Zealand...

People doing good deeds we don’t deserve these people these people help us because they want to I don’t even deserve them. Then the people who do stuff like that on camera (example mr beast) I appreciate them and they all started somewhere I was watching some old Mr beast vids and I was like some people don’t deserve to be rich (example billionaires who donate nothing and keep it to themselves) we need more people that will help people there are a lot of people who are incapable in helping themselves for various reasons or don’t know how to help themselves but we can help them.
