i am soooo good at getting emotional over children's media but not in a fandom way in like a. oh god i care about people so much way

#its shel silverstein this time kldfjhd #watched a good vid essay abt his work and going through the comments of the vid and oughh theyre getting me to tears actually #ive gotten this emotional abt dragon tales and fraggle rock before lol #idk man maybe im super sappy but i find myself so very touched by media made for kids that is made with a genuine care #whether its a desire to teach people how to deal with emotions. to “end wars” in fraggle rock's case iirc #or just having such a respect for kids to want them to have these profound messages that stick with them into adulthood #ogh. ogggh. maybe this is why im an education major lol #rando thoughtz #edit additions bc im thinking abt it now after i already hit post #silverstein's poem Whatif like. particularly hit me hard rn when i heard it now #bc im like. well not to divulge into in a public setting but ive been really struggling with anxiety lately #its been p fucking bad #and that poem was like. ah thats literally how its been for me so many times ive been left alone with my thoughts in my bed #and it was like that a lot as a kid too ngl. so it makes me a little sad that i dont think i ever read that one as a kid #or if i did i didnt remember it. but its here for me now and its. comforting to have what ive been going through be in text for kids
