Last night we went to see "Won't You Be My Neighbor" - the film about Fred Rogers and the community that helped bring Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to life. I cried often and was struck by how immediately @turshen and I remembered all of the parts of that show as soon as they came on screen. Daniel the Striped Tiger, the trolley, the "I like you exactly as you are" songs...The human mind is an incredible filing system of things you didn't even remember you knew. But more than those things, I immediately had a feeling of safety and acceptance wash over me- and that is the lasting legacy of the work of Fred Rogers, for me.
I identified so strongly with his desire to use a popular medium to have deeper discussions, even if they're wrapped in what feels like a less serious package. He wanted those conversations to be rooted in acceptance and the inherent value of all people. It was that mission that made it hard to hear that he asked his LGBTQ co-stars to hide their identities for the sake of the show. But seeing him learn to open his heart and seeing how that situation evolved reminded me just how heartbreaking and complicated, but also beautiful, humankind is.
The world wants to reduce people to their simplest labels, but in reality, we're all complex and often contradictory jumbles of identities, actions, and beliefs. Fred Rogers was no different, and I found that reminder a sort of balm in relation to the world we're all living in right now.
We expect so much of our heroes- we want them to be perfect examples of unwavering leadership. But getting to better understand Mr. Rogers reminded me how important it is to try to understand others and, most importantly, ourselves, as the complicated mix of everything we are. I came away feeling more inspired to find ways to use the work I do to work toward fuller pictures of people, and I also came away feeling loved and accepted in a way I didn't know I needed to. I felt like my 6yo self came back to life in that theater and left feeling more loved and reconciled with my 37yo self. I hope somewhere Fred Rogers knows that he helped so many of us to feel that way. *Artwork by @jvstyourtype ♥️
