John Green’s commencement address is like if Augustus grew up and had a baby with ‘This is Water’ and a library. 

“The real hero’s journey is the journey from strength to weakness…And because you went to college, you will be more alive to the experience, better able to contextualize it and maybe even find the joy and wonder hidden amid the dehumanizing drudgery” 

And it’s not one of those Amazon ‘inspired by your browsing history’ experiences, they’re on par insightful; it’s just one was informed by the other.

(Edit: the two addresses are not Augustus and the library)
