"The Secret Garden" (1993). I watched it on a plane (my emotional sanctuary/hell) and the nature and sincerity and sweet misanthropic kids made me cry.

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 i’m just a dweeb)
haru (1996)- early internet bonds. also more on the lighthearted side of things but tugs at the heart.

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
