Draw-out question: What makes you tear up (in a good way) to even think about?

For a while, what had happened with my last complicated relationship. Now, not anything I can think of off the top of my head-- but I read Code Name Verity yesterday and was tearing up in public about it for a couple hours! Worth noting both because it is humorously trivial and weirdly related to the first item.

good punchline! I didn't date her and she wasn't a spy, and the sad ending of the book wasn't anything like our sad ending, but there are just so few stories about intense female friendship and its ability to turn a plot (as opposed to heterosexual romance or romance at all), it really hit me where I live. And now I see I was reading too quickly on my phone and missed the "in a good way" from your post!

I thought of another one! This is more relevant to your original question. For some reason as long as I can remember, thinking about time travel makes me well up! Specifically, a dynamic in stories where someone sees the world around them changing very quickly, in a way they're not part of; one thing changing and one thing staying the same. I can't tell whether it makes me sad or not, just very affected. This is the strangest little emotional kink.

Yeah, "years pass" moments are absurdly affecting.
