In this episode i'm watching with my friend and her little girl, Sponge is confessing to Sandy that he lied when he told his pen pal that he could fly a plane. He's so distraught that he told this lie, and it actually kinda disturbed me how realistic this panic attack was. He's sobbing uncontrollably,  he can't even speak, and he's breathing too fast.

Moments later, Sandy is giving him flying lessons, and there's no sign of the panicked Sponge we previously saw only a minute ago. He's overjoyed, laughing hysterically.

I've seen this kinda thing on the show before. SpongeBob feels everything to his core. When he's happy it's like nothing can stop him, but when things go wrong it's like there's no hope. He seems to have little control and it breaks my heart because as much as he annoys everyone, they all know that he has a good heart, and he has so much love for others. You can sometimes tell that even Squidward feels this way.

I'm grateful that I have more control than Sponge Bob but I desperately want to be able to express my love like he can.
