ok i know this is a very telling screenshot of a txtpost over a minecraft video on yt shorts of all things, but i am sobbing over this rn
theres smthn in this post that touches the purest part of my heart that rlly tells me that people are innately good, like this is so pure i cant contain myself.
its the fact that given the opportunity he was able to relish in simple pleasures that may or may not have been experienced again in many years, to feel that small joy that people take for granted everyday. oh my god its the little things in life that make everything worth it gewawawaaaaa
it reminds me of being able to pet my senior dog one last time before i moved away, or my final memories with my childhood cat before i moved across the state and how sweet and kind they were. they believed in me, and they waited till i was gone before they left.
Or how my old librarian knew i wasnt safe at home so she would hang out after hours with me at work, and she would get me holiday gifts. or how the old man at the crosswalk would hold my hand despite me being 11 after i told him i was scared a car would hit me. Or how when i moved away from my sister & the living space i share with her dogs, they would walk up to the door when they heard the bus stop by expecting me to walk through the door again despite it being months since i left, or the cat sleeping outside of my old bedroom door expecting me to come out despite the same reason.
there is still good things in the world, they just arent face value. oh my goooodddoddoodd...
and im so glad i get to contribute for the same reasons. listening to someone talk abt smhtn they love despite knowing ill never be into it the same way. or getting rlly into a game someone enhoys and being able to listen to them passionately talk & be able to learn from it, or surprising someone with a gift/smthn they've been wanting for a while just because you know it will make them happy. or taking time out of your schedule just to see someone specifically or because you know you're the only person they can be themself around. or starting a group project you're not sure will go anywhere but regardless of yhe outcome you were able to bring ppl together over something everyone collectively loves & possibly started new friendships and got to know people.
NEVER kill yourself guys. the wotld IS better with you in it.
