It cannot be overstated how much I love this boy. He is one my best friends and I am so damn proud of him. He’s doing what he loves and that just makes me so happy. Every time I hear him sing I just want to cry and give him a hug. It’s just amazing to see how far he’s come since high school. <3

"I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence through association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction."

This book is beautiful. And this passage is quite possibly perfect.

What’s the point of being alive?
“Perhaps lives are supposed to be lived in pursuit of some great ideal worth sacrificing endlessly for…”
I read about history, and make these videos, in part because I am genuinely uncertain about how humans are best off organizing their lives: What we should prioritize, how important stability is relative to freedom, whether the rights of the individual trump the interest of the collective, etc.
And one of the most interesting and fun things to come out of crash course so far is to see people’s perspectives on these questions, some as uncertain as I am and others with their values set, and the thoughtfulness with which they use the stories of those who came before us to think about what should matter to us.
All of which is to say, more or less, thanks. Thanks for watching Crash Course. Thanks for taking it seriously. And thanks for helping to clarify my own questions about how history should guide our values for the time that we are here.
My best friend is amazing. John Green is amazing.
This. If I had the guts to do this, my life would be very different.
