What’s the last movie that made you cry?

Probably anything where the animal get hurt. I can see people die all day long just do not hurt the animals.

I will typically ask before a movie if an animal gets hurt and then not watch it.

The only movie that really comes to mind is Seabiscuit (2003).

By 1938, Seabiscuit was already a national hero after defeating the Triple Crown champion, War Admiral; it was called the “Match of the Century.” The sad part was in 1939 when Seabiscuit suffered a career-ending leg injury.

Usually, a horse is put down or retired after an injury like that. Instead, his trainer, Tom Smith (played by Chris Cooper), owner Charles Howard (Jeff Bridges), and jockey Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire) rehabilitated the horse together.

I was a bit scratchy when Seabiscuit got hurt, but he survived, and so did I with some minor sniffles

  1. You Cannot Heal While Holding What Cuts You

    Imagine holding a knife in your hand.

    You know it hurts.

    You know the tighter you grip it, the deeper it cuts.

    Yet instead of letting it go, you keep holding on.

    That is what we sometimes do with people, memories, anger, and relationships that have already wounded us.

    We know they are hurting us.

    We know staying attached is making the pain worse.

    But because letting go feels frightening, we keep choosing the familiar pain.

    At some point, healing requires you to open your hand.

    Not because what happened did not matter.

    Not because the wound was not real.

    But because you finally understand that holding onto what hurt you is keeping the injury alive.

    Letting go is not pretending it never happened.

    It is deciding that the pain no longer gets to keep cutting you.

    Sometimes peace begins the moment you stop gripping what you already know is hurting you.
