Oh really?! THAT almost makes me cry?

Alright, so it's time to fess up.  I'm baffled.

For some reason, every time I watch a show where someone "makes it", I get a little flash where I feel like I could well up and cry.  That little blurb in your throat... 

The thing is, it really irrates me that I get that way about it!  Maybe that's the "me" I THINK I am trying to supress the me I REALLY am. 

I don't like to admit it, for whatever ridiculous reason, but I am a bit of a softy.  Perhaps it's from the cliche' experience of being hurt before, so I try to keep people at a distance by being the tough one?

Whatever it is, I guess it's time to give up the act.  Well, at least to the 2 people who read this...
