    I know, it may be too personal, so you don't have to answer.

    Mine was about 4 months ago. Nothing really happened, but mostly it was a break I needed after I had been in the hospital last April. I was there for a 3 weeks and I had to get there in an ambulance after my leg started to have tons of pain, even taking my socks off was hard. They told me OMG, that I had blood cancer, liver cancer, that I had life threatening tromboflebitis, that I had an infection, that I might lose my leg or my feet, etc.

    I didn't cry at the time, trying to deal with the situation, assessing what needed to be done, coming to terms with the end of mi life, etc.

    As you probably guessed, I didn't die. I recovered, no one really knows what happened or how I recovered. I was in good enough shape that I was able to go to the US in July to give a conference there at a University that invited me to an event.

    So, I guess I just had to let go of the pain and that at the moment, I wasn't able to.

    When I was in the hospital.

    Mostly due to how much pain I was in after my surgery.

    I shed a few tears when I found out Carrie Fisher died. I realize I never met her and didn't know her, but those movies were a big part of my life.
    May the Force be with you, Princess.

    Honestly, though, I don't cry often. Maybe a few tears every few months, usually more from anger than sadness.
    Never when things happen to me, though. It seems like energy better spent fighting back.
    I only get upset when things happen to people I care about, and I can't do anything to help them.

    Happens to me with some frequency. I don't even have to be going through anything bad; even listening to my Mom playing pretty songs on the piano can get me to start thinking negatively about things I shouldn't be thinking about. As a result, I get depressed pretty easily.

    I think the last time I cried was sometime within the past fortnight. Don't remember exactly when, though.

    Well it depends on what you mean. If you mean like really emotionally moved crying... well the answer is in my past.

    This movie to be specific.



    As for why. A number of reasons, most very self explanatory for old fans, like myself, of Pokemon. This movie delves in to the dark history behind Mewtwo. The movie pushed some boundaries that were beyond the typical comfort zone for this anime. Though all of that in which builds to the moment I shared brings a lot of things into factor. The dangerous power of Pokemon, The cost of cloning, and our own inevitable mortality. Things that are pretty *squee!*ing dark for a show that was all fun and games with it's battles under normal circumstances. At least for the anime itself. I understand Japan has more stuff that is censored here, but even there are boundaries over there too, albeit fewer.

    After I decided to let go of my crush for my best friend to have him (because she liked him too). The decision hurt a lot, but I knew it was the right one to make.

    My non-stop health issues almost make me want to.

    Just yesterday when I realized that my succulent is dying. I was obviously feeling quite emotional that day to begin with but the plant dying was what made the tears come out.

    I watched a movie I really love (When Marnie Was There) and it made me really emotional. In a good way though.
