Not real…doesn’t mean no tears.
The inspiration for these words came from last night. We were watching ER, anyone remember that show, it ran for 15 seasons. We made it to Season 15 last night. Anyway I know I am not the only one who gets choked up and has tears come when something sad happens in a show. You tell yourself this isn’t real, that person is really not dead, but still you get caught up in the emotion of the show where it seems so real. Am I right?? This happens with books too. I lose myself in the book and the people become real and I feel their happiness and their sadness. Shoot even kids books, Remember Velveteen Rabbit, that can choke you up, can’t it?? ๐ Have a great day everyone and don’t be afraid to show emotions, that’s what we have them for ๐
yep – that would be me too! Didn’t watch ER, but do get caught up like that!!

Yes, and that’s what stories are for, too… stretching our emotions and perspectives. Good stories, anyway. If we didn’t care about the characters, then we wouldn’t bother watching the show or reading the book, right?

That’s what makes movies and books so good (when they are good) – they stir up your emotions. I cry at sad movies/tv programs/books too.
