The last thing that made you cry...

I cried at Christmas time. I had a severe case of shingles and have never experienced anything so painful, and I’ve been hit by a truck causing several fractured and broken bones, including my skull and my spine.

That's terrible. It is what I was afraid of and why I got the 2-part shingles vaccine. The vaccine made me sicker than maybe I've ever felt, like a flu level 10. It was awful but only lasted 24 hours each time and I am glad it will help later if I get shingles.
 
I think the last time I cried, it was New Year's. I felt I had accomplished very little the past decade, especially since whatever accomplishment I had went up in smoke.
 
Looking back at this thread, I was listening to Karliene's The Legend of Anne Bonny - which is a loose musical re-telling of the famous Irish Pirate Queen who sailed in the Caribbean in the 1700s.

Tracks 1 to 5 were all fine and dandy; some darker stuff but otherwise fun to listen to...then Track 6 happened and it made me weep:

Track 6 - Fly Little Pelican:
 
I'm not one for crying. I shed a light tear or two when I looked back at the negative impact fear and worry has had on me, and what might become of the world in the next few years.
 
I've often been crying and near to crying for the past several days because my big move across the country is now imminent. While I'm moving somewhere I love, it's a HUGE change and I'm leaving behind so much.
 
While at the camper down in East Tennessee last weekend, I was crying about missing the husband of my mom's boyfriend's daughter. It was pretty emotional since there was a lot of memories with him. Even worse when we had to sell his camper (that used to be ours) and move our current camper to somewhere else due to the new ownership raising the price at our current location.

He died in 2022.
 
Last night I had an awful meltdown because of climate change anxiety, doomsday anxiety, and the fact I had to make the decision to have my elderly cat put down. Her seizures were becoming more frequent and I couldn't stand seeing her suffer anymore.
 
Re-watching the old 1950's Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough At Last".

For those unfamiliar, it's about a meek, mild-mannered man who enjoys reading to escape reality; having to deal with his harsh boss at work (after Harry gets so engrossed in a book that he accidentally shortchanges a customer), his cruel wife at home (who hides or ruins his books) and the fact he rarely has enough time to read.

However, while having his lunch in the bank vault so he can get some solitude to eat and read (and not long after reading a newspaper headline about the H-Bomb), an explosion rings out that knocks Harry unconscious.
When he comes to and leaves the vault (this been the 50's so radiation is ignored for plot's sake), he finds everything in ruins and everyone around him - including his wife - dead. Although he finds shelter and enough food, he cannot leave the area, and the isolation of this cruel new reality affects him (showcasing the difference between solitude and loneliness).

As he prepares to "off himself", however, he notices the public library ahead of him and how most of the books are still intact - which leads to one of the most famous twist endings in the show's history:


I think what makes it worse is because, while flawed, Harry is shown as a kind and likeable character (helped immensely by Burgess Meredith's portrayal), so this ending just feels even more cruel.
 
Yesterday at work when they announced that they're going to make us work Sundays. With my mental health right now I just can't handle change.
 
Re-watching the old 1950's Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough At Last".
I still want to watch all of that series, I think I got close the the final episodes of season 1. Can't watch it on any streaming services, though. That episode was definitely one of my favorites. After so many years of Batman, it was also really fun to see Burgess Meredith in a non-penguin role :)

For me it was just yesterday, I'm rewatching Lost. It was the final scene of the Locke episode Walkabout, in which you see him being able to stand up and walk again, accompanied by Michael Giacchino's awesome score. Love how Locke looks at his wheelchair in the final shot, with a smile.
Every time I rewatch, I hope season 6 will be good this time :P

I didn't like it when it aired, but I've enjoyed season 6 since then. I think "Ab Aeterno" and "Across the Sea" are two of their best episodes. Not to mention Jack at the lighthouse, Hurley and Jacob, the return of Aldo, Widmore's confrontation with the Man in Black, and Claire. It also gives you more to think about regarding the temple and its relationship to the Man in Black, not to mention the ancient incident alluded to in the season 5 finale.
