>>42055342That's okay with me. This entire thread makes me want to cry, and yet I can't stop smiling. It's not a grin, or a curl at the lips, it's a full smile. Like I'm a little kid again, and Mr. Rogers is telling me that no matter what, people will always love me, and that I should love everyone else too.
And God dammit, I wish this sank in when I was a teenager. I just hope that this thread helps me change. I hope that, from beyond the grave, Mr. Rogers once again makes me a happy, loving person.
I'm going to sleep, and maybe have another quiet cry, and think about my life choices and how I can move forward. Maybe even apologize to the people I've hurt, and forgive the people who've hurt me.
I always wanted to make people laugh and be a comedian, /co/. Because I liked making people laugh and smile, and I felt that even insult comics had a way of making people's difficult lives better.
Now I kind of want to try and do something like Mr. Rogers did. Not imitate him, but use him as a sense of motivation, and try and be like him. Now that I think about it, every occupation I've ever wanted--psychologist, author, comedian, and at one point, even the President--has been because, in some way, I wanted to help people. That may seem like a stupid cliche or something, especially since I've made horrible decisions in my life and have a reputation as a kind of psychopath, but I think I'm starting to piece together everything in my head. It'll take a while, sure, but I think if I can just be a Good Neighbor, I can be a great person.
I love you, /co/. I know you don't know me, and I'm a faceless, nameless entity in the midst of an image board, but know that you're a good person. That somewhere in the world, there's someone that loves you. That person is your neighbor, just like everyone else on this big blue marble. And even if a neighbor doesn't mean what it did in Fred's time, let's just pretend that we're all one big community.
