I suppose I should be happy that I'm old enough now to realize that
this bringing a tear to my eye is just some crazed form of pms.
And, my analysis of why exactly I would become choked up at this.... well, I'm hoping that it's "because beauty pageants are disgusting and this poor girl probably lost her childhood to perfecting this act" and not "oh that poor girl spent all that time coming up with this dynamic act only to have tech problems and then have her performance awkwardly interrupted, but still she carried on, what a survivor!"
Who am I kidding.... I think my soul was shedding a tear for the 4:51 I spent watching this along with however many other retarded youtube clips I've clicked on today.
fucking youtube.
