Autumn Apple and Quinoa Salad

Tears... Anyone who really knows me can tell you, that I'm an emotional person. I cry a lot. It's been like this my entire life. I feel like my body runs on tears.

I'm happy and because of that I don't have a reason for crying, so I don't cry but I feel like my body still has to get rid of some tears, so when I watch something, like a YouTube video or a movie, something moves me and instantly starts my ''crying machinery''.

Is this weird? Can you relate to this?
