it's funny. anyone who actually watched Mr Rogers should know what I'm about to say.
he didn't want everybody to be just like him. he wanted to inspire children to be better versions of themselves.
frankly, I'm not a nice person. never want to be, but I do try to be a good person.
I grew up on Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, etc. They’re a big part of what shaped me and made me empathetic. I live a good life but the world around me (the US) is determined to make me bitter and angry, and it’s an everyday struggle to keep my mind above water.
I know if he were around today, he would still manage to always keep a cool head and a grounded spirit, despite knowing where this country is headed.
He would speak out against concentration camps and end up arrested himself.
He is much needed and missed right now.
