Here's to the kids.

Not entirely upset that almost the entire front page of my dash is this:

thanks, John Green. 

Just preordered John Green’s new book. 

AWWWW YEAHHHH. 

…excuse me while I go ahead and write about Looking for Alaska for the Bennington College supplement. 

I was just rereading a post I made from last night and I can’t help but marvel at the fact that there are people, and in this case, John Green, who manage to describe people they have never met. People they do not know exist. I can’t help but marvel at the fact that as much as people say it, you truly are never alone. There will always be someone out there thinking the exact same thoughts as you. People who feel the exact same way as you. Maybe these people are your best friends, maybe you will never meet them, maybe they’re characters in books. It amazes me that John Green, as a thirty something year old man, can describe my thoughts and feelings in the words of a 16-17 year old girl. I feel like it takes serious talent to be able to do that. To so accurately describe someone you have never been and never will be. Maybe we aren’t so hard to know. Perhaps Tyler Durden had it right when he told us that we are not beautiful and unique snowflakes. I’d like to think we are. 

This post got a bit longer than I had intended. My point though is this; John Green is an excellent writer and I cannot wait for his new book to be delivered to my doorstep.
