-John Green
Have I mentioned that John Green and I have a lot of the same buttons/hang-ups in the things we like to contemplate in our writing? “Seeking a great perhaps” and “Lighting out to the territories”? Part of the reason I became so entranced by these concepts as he explores them in his books and in his videos is that I’ve spent my entire life extraordinarily preoccupied with both of these things. In fact, I’d say I’ve lived approximately 90% of my life so far in the state of thinking of my future in an undoubtedly nostalgic way—something he talks about in Looking for Alaska.
This is to say: Keep on keeping on, John Green. You rock. You also have a very impressive puff.
