Does reading you make you cry or feel emotional?

[letusdine]

I have been sat sobbing at this. Yes, sobbing.

No idea what's triggered it but something in the way it's written has really got me crying!

I am not a crier.

I read it in the brochure but here it is online. Something about the June brides, sunny afternoons of hope.

I don't know. Is it just really well written? I've linked it!

Title is a typo, sorry!

It's schmaltzy advertorial. If you're crying at this that's really quite concerning.

Yes, it is all marketing related so I am not sure why it has touched me the way it has!

I thought you meant a tragic novel. Or a news story about an awful tragedy.

Not an advert for summer clothes.

I’m somewhat taken aback.

Only if I was very tired/stressed/pregnant...

I was all prepared to say yes... but yeah, no.

I think you are have a moment op! Don't worry, random shit gets to most of us sometimes!

Drunk?

I am strangely baffled myself

Not sure what's come over me!

My H read it, and looked up with a

Do you work for the White Company? Is this a clever advertising thing?

Second this- there is no way I would cry at this unless pregnant.

Think I might need more sleep thanks all for confirming my reaction was indeed unhinged

I am still disturbed at night about what those characters did when they stole Noddy's car.

I can't get the image out of my head of one of them wearing Noddy's hat and laughing.

😱

What a load of twaddle!

A bit Sistine Chapel?

Not at a cliché-sodden ads authored by AI, no.

It's written by the Founder, not AI

That sounds like a cult leader 🧐

I am a massive crier. Reading that barely registered in my brain as words though, tbh.

You’ve got something going on, OP. Maybe take it as an opportunity to delve a bit deeper?

This isn’t well written. Are you ok ?

Lolol I thought you were going to say Middlemarch or something

I think you must just have been badly in need of a weep.

Not at advertisements, but definitely at books. When I’m tired I cry at some young children’s books though. 😂 As a writer, they’ve included lots of sensual elements, so for some people those will connect to specific memories and desires.

On a light note, perhaps you’re in dire need of a sunny holiday? 😁

Haha, me too!

Schmaltzy! Such a good word,almost onomatopoeic
No, i do not cry at lifestyle adverts who are selling me clothes on premise of kinship

Can confirm I neither work for them, nor lead a cult for them do love their shop and stuff though and feel a bit shit I cannot live up to TWC image

I erm got a visit from the red witch the next morning after posting this thread

Ah, the bliss of hormones 😁
