IT is a calling. You wouldn't understand. It's a spiritual calling you feel in your soul. Your mind overflows with words and thoughts that you can only respect by putting them to paper.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. This young man posseses within him a sense of the effervescent insight of the indescribable which leaks and ebbs from the immaterial substance of Mana that pervades the green world. The craft of writing has called upon him to create words, worlds, universes that are within and without our compass of imagination. I can tell that he will be the next John Green, the next prophet and seer who will announce to posterity the indescribable experience of being a human, a butterfly, a flower.

This is my greatest nightmare. After heavily dedicating a large proportion of your useful lifespan investing in literature, you spend a sizable chuck of that time pouring out those virgin book ideas and prose you've have bubbling up into a novella. Then when you've finally published it and you've felt a sense of accomplishment very few people get to experience, your entire worldview gets shattered. That part of your soul you've released to the world is being torn to shreds by the masses. You get the privilege of re-evaluating every single interaction you've ever had with a teacher, a fellow student, your friends, your parents, who now you think might all agree that you're actually retarded, and went along with the act to make you feel better. Your entire life was a lie, and you didn't do anything but try your best.
I would not consider myself to be suicidal, but that shit would easily push me off the edge. The only consolation this guy has is the 500 views. This video could honestly either make his career, or bring about his ego death. Not many people get to experience that, so I guess that's something.
