So, here's what I have discovered.
It's never the happy wedding scenes. Never the joyful birth scenes. Never the [insert scene here] scene that I cry over. It's almost always the funeral scenes.
Nearly every time I cry in a movie or tv show or even a book, it's during scenes or depictions of funerals and/or death.
Death doesn't scare me. It's not something that is unknown to me. It's not something I avoid. Not something I don't think about. It's there, it's real, and it's inevitable.
I think what gets me the most is closure and acceptance of death. Not my own closure or anything, but the acceptance other people come to when experiencing death in their lives. In many death depictions, closure/acceptance is depicted through the dropping of roses on the casket, the tossing of dirt into the grave, etc. This gets to me.
I cry every single time.
I wish I knew why. Though, I think I do know why. But, then again, I'm not sure. ((Or maybe I'm just not willing to admit it to myself.)) I'm thinking that's the reason. I say I'm over it, but I guess I'm not. Well, not all the way.
I have a respect for death. Though, I don't know what that has to do with anything.
Blah. I don't know why I feel the need to type all this up. It's all random bullshit that makes relatively no sense in my head, so why do I think it'd make sense in yours?
Sorry to have wasted your time reading this. But, you were forewarned.

I cry when the characters on the screen are happy, because I know I'll never be.
Or I would if I was a cryer. I've never been the emotional type when it comes to movies. Watery eyes every now and then but never like full on tears.
"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." -Albus Dumbledore
I don't agree with the Dumbledore quote. When I look upon the darkness and even death, it's not the unknown that I fear, but the difference that is going to be made by going into the unknown.
Exactly, the unknown. You fear the change that will be inflicted upon your life, as opposed to what you do know which is your current life. So you're kind of saying the same thing, but wording it differently.
Meh, I guess so. I embrace the unknown, yet fear the unknown of the unknown...maybe?
Now, you're just confusing me. :P To each his own, I guess.
