If I'm being honest here, I cry way more than I should. What can I say, I'm a sensitive person and sometimes even the silliest things get the best of me. For all other sensitive souls out there, you'll probably find this article relatable but even if you don't, you'll definitely find it humorous. Here's a small list of things that have really made me cry for reasons that I am unable to justify at this time, or possibly ever.
