Recently I've been crying over a lot of shows and books. Now it's normal for me to cry over things like shows and books, like if a character dies or a character's past is revealed. However recently its been quite often. I just finished reading the last 20% of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone by Lori Gottlieb. I cried my eyes out during those chapters. The type of crying where you need to get up and grab a tissue box if you want to keep those clothes clean. It was quite weird because I was in a room with someone else in it. Usually, I don't cry in those situations but I did because of this book. I'm pretty sure I would have cried over this book even if I read it at another time. The author is providing some insight into what happens in a therapy room from both sides of the room, as a client and as a therapist. The book talks about what it means to be human, the faults and flaws as well as the beauty of it. The book is very heartfelt and perhaps that is why I cried so much during it. I feel like most people would cry over it and it is normal that I did, now I have cried over certain things that not quite everyone would cry over. It's something that's probably due to personal insecurities. Who knows, maybe everyone has this insecurity but for some, it is stronger for them than others. One particular instance is when I was watching Merlin and one of the character's dads said: "I was never disappointed in you." or something of the sorts. This one line wasn't meant to be a big moment for the character, it was more of a moment for the episode not for the whole show. The father quickly walked away and the camera lingered on the character, as he digested the information, for a few seconds. This simple sentence was enough for me to cry. It wasn't late at night, I wasn't delirious or under any influence but that made me cry. If that isn't due to my personal problems I don't know what is. I was intrigued because I didn't know I had that insecurity. However thinking about it now, it isn't that surprising or random. I know it isn't groundbreaking knowledge that "The way you react to something says something about your self". I was just thinking about that and thought it would be nice to write about it. Now I might need some water after all that crying haha. That's all, thanks for reading this far. I'm not sure what I will title this but I guess I'll figure it out haha.
Some books and shows should be paired with water and tissue.
