let's give each other something to cry about that heals instead of hurts ❤️ what silly thing makes happy tears spring up in your eyes?

awards ceremonies always get me, no matter how mundane – I was the weird 4H mom applauding and wiping away tears about every kid, not just her own 😂🙃

love seeing someone open a gift they're genuinely super excited about

commercials often get me, too

Whales.

Its something about how graceful and beautiful and HUGE and social they are. I'm tearing up as I write this but thinking about their family structures, language and ancient migratory patterns really fucking gets me. I hope we figure out how to talk to the whales, I want to tell them I love them and I'm sorry for what we are doing to them.

Elephants do the same thing to me.

me too!! they give off such a vibe of deep wisdom, there's just so much intelligence and spirit in their eyes. I want to hug them 🥰
