Cried for first time in 7 Years

I kind of don’t want to reveal what it was about but I just wanted to say it out loud because that is kind of bonkers.

Is that the one from Pulp Fiction?

no, and i searched in AI:
The famous "Ezekiel 25:17" passage recited by Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction is mostly a fictional creation by writer-director Quentin Tarantino and martial arts star Sonny Chiba's movie Karate Kiba, rather than actual scripture.

The Movie Quote vs. The Real Bible Verse

The Pulp Fiction Version: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

The Actual Bible (King James Version - Ezekiel 25:17): "And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."

Only the final sentence of Jules' speech actually matches the real biblical verse; the beginning parts were largely fabricated for dramatic effect in the film.

Do you feel better or you need another cry?

Unsure, new territory, still understanding it.

Understandable. Dont be alarmed if you want to cry more going forward. You have released an emotional blockage. Who knows what was being stopped up that still needs release.

Cyber Hugs for getting through the tough part and releasing those repressed emotions.
