Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old time is still a-flying;

And this same flower that smiles today

Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,

The higher he's a-getting,

The sooner will his race be run,

And nearer he's to setting.

- excerpt from Robert Herrick, To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time

If a video of mine gets a million views, I don't feel like that's a personal accomplishment. Getting a million views isn't a reflection of my genius or the depth of my value. Stupid fucking awful exploitative garbage gets millions of views every single day. When you go viral, you are not in good company.

I care, above everything else, if what I'm doing has meaning and if it's excellent, which I judge not by "big number" but by my own apprehension of what is meaningful and excellent.
