Feelings Quote by Anonymous
“They would say that everyone who watched it would cry, that even when they dragged someone to watch it they would cry. That people who would not cry are heartless. They would cry about fictional things while they are millions out there with the same situation. The hilarious part is that I didn't cry in either of these but I'm not exactly heartless either.”
