Ok but fr..
If you liked Worst Person in the World then watch⌠Weekend (2011)
If you liked Eternal Sunshine then watch⌠Punch Drunk Love (2002)
If you liked Anatomy of a Fall (I havenât seen it yet) then watch⌠Force Majeure (2014)Â
If you want to be moved, a James Ivory film is always reliable in that department. My favorites are Maurice đâ¤ď¸â𩹠(hugh grants floppy hair should have won best supporting actor) and Room With a View â¤ď¸âđĽ (Beauty! Joy! Love!)
Misc. movies that made me cry:Â
-Harold & Maude (1971) itâs a classic!
-Moonlight (2016) I mean cmon yeah
-Handmaiden (2016) always rocks my worldÂ
-Petite Maman (2021) youâll want to give your mom a hug after
-Short Term 12 (2013) early Brie Larson and Lakeith Stanfield⌠underrated imo
-A Monster Calls (2016)⌠itâs a ya/kids movie but made my mom and I both sobbed in the theater lol

from gut wrenching to a light tug:
mustang (2015)- made me cry twice in one watch. (disclaimer: a lot of turkish people have mixed feelings abt how this movie represents turkish culture so watch with a grain of salt but also remember misogyny does in fact exist everywhere)
la chimera (2023)- there is a looming melancholy throughout the whole film but the last 30 minutes really did a number on me
thelma & louise (1991)- gut wrenching in a beautiful female friendship kinda way
lars and the real girl (2007)- the premise looks silly on paper and tbh it is but it still made me cry in the end nonetheless (maybe iâm just a dweeb)
haru (1996)- early internet bonds. also more on the lighthearted side of things but tugs at the heart.

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but itâs different when I do it.Â
My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called âtarget fixationâ. Itâs a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing theyâre trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.Â
You will follow your gaze so be aware of where youâre looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think itâs just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things.
Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you.
