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.
Yeah, I'm an asshole, I know I'm an asshole, but I do try to not make it a problem for other people and I think watching his show as a kid definitely helped me to be better about that.
Same, I lost my shit with someone at the DMV because I needed one of those new 'real' IDs because I really needed to travel. But I lost my birth certificate in a fire and so i couldn't even get that. I had to take time off work to try and get and they were pissed about that. So now I am going through this while being angry with myself and I took it out on someone who didn't deserve it because I was a bitch who needed to be angry at someone else.
I hate myself so much.
don't be too hard on yourself. the fact that you're remorseful about it should be all the proof you need to show that you were just having a bad day(or couple months).
even Mr. Rogers had bad days. it's about dealing with your feelings and owning them.
if you feel that bad you should send the person some chocolates or just straight up apologize for your behavior. who knows, maybe it'll make their own horrible day alittle better.
