When my best friend and I watched The Book Thief, (separately, on different computers, in different states, communicating via Facebook messaging in what we call "live-tweeting" a movie. It is how we watch movies together over a long distance) I went online immediately afterwards to find a cure for my terrible feels. Oh they hurt so bad. I scoured the pages of eHow and Yahoo Answers, and only found one humorously helpful post on eHow. I can't seem to find it again, but I did find it once, and I shared some of the tips with my friend. We laughed, but in all seriousness, it hurt and man, did I need help.
ain't that the truth, Spock
So I contemplated making a YouTube video on this, and even kinda had a conversation with myself on how it would go down, but then I started to break down and tear up. At that point in my life, I was on season 7 or something of FRIENDS, but made the horrid mistake of seeing a post on pinterest about moments in the series that "still make you cry every time time you watch them." The very last one was the finale. {Oh lord I can't explain the pain, and unless you've experienced something like it before, you seriously do not want to experience it. Stay away from getting emotionally attached to anything that isn't real. Come to think of it, stay away from real stuff too--because broken hearts SUCK.}
Oh man did I sob. All the wet tears and runny nose that makes up the "ugly cry" happened and I was dreading watching the rest of the series. I finally did, though. And it was worth it. And I cried just as hard watching the finale in the essence of the whole episode as I did in the YouTube clip where they put their keys on the counter and leave the apartment for the last time. AND OH MY LAWDY WHEN THEY PANNED AROUND THE APARTMENT. (This is one of the reasons I have tissues by my bed.)
Now for those of you who are bookworms, like moi, I also experiences this horrible overcoming of feels when reading certain books and/or series. For example, the Maze Runner: Death Cure: Page 250.
Also, I cried like a buttmunchkin whilst reading the part in "The Fault in Our Stars" where the eulogies are being given. I also cried when Augustus died, but not as hard as I did when he got to witness his own eulogies from two of the people he cared about the most. And how about we stop there because I am dying inside.
this was me, but without the mother for support
Now the real reason for this post, at this particular point in time, is because of Shamy. If you don't know who that is, shamy on you. (lol I'm a riot) [Just kidding.] It's Sheldon and Amy from The Big Bang Theory. I had the unfortunate incident of running across a MAJOR spoiler for the series, and if you don't want to know what it is, skip to the end or just stop reading now. Anyway, I just finished season 4 yesterday, & obviously I'm very behind, but that doesn't stop me from being very much in love with the idea of "Sheldon and Amy forever". I saw a picture of the spoiler, and being the numbnut that I am, I went online to watch the scene on YouTube. *********(MISTAKE. Children learn from my mistakes. This is very reminiscent of the whole FRIENDS incident of seeking out end of season/series spoilers. DON'T DO IT)*********When Amy broke up with him, that was sad in itself, but when Sheldon pulled out the ring... my chest was seized with pain. I couldn't breathe. I felt as if I was Sheldon and my heart had been broken. At the same time, I cried for Amy, not knowing what she had just unknowingly rejected. And I also cried for her because I saw exactly where she was coming from. I mean, really Sheldon? Thinking about the Flash while kissing her? Really SHELDON???!!!!. Anyway, sorry for that rant, but honestly. My heart broke for both of them, and to me, that's not fair. Why should I suffer for others' pain?

But I do. I get so into these movies, TV shows, books, and more. I get to be there with them through ALL of it. Everything. The joy, the excitement, the suspense, the anger, the pain, the sadness...the heart breaking.... It really does suck, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather live all these lives with others and experience their pain and stuff, than simply be a bystander and not get involved in any way whatsoever. Now that is what would suck.
Now, for the cure. There is none. I'm so sorry to lead you through all of that to simply tell you it was all a hoax. I'm so sorry. I honestly haven't found one. Yet. But, if it's really bad, you may have to resort to getting out into the real world for a while. I know that doesn't sound appealing in any sense of the phrase, but do it. I know our fictional worlds are so much better than the real world, but we have to be honest here and face the reality of the situation. We are real and they are not. At least, not in this universe....
Lots of love,
a hopeless & fanatic young adult
