Always fun to see an old piece get shared again. For anyone who doesn't know, this is a piece from about a decade ago; Button also has the original "viral" version and a more recent "classroom-friendly" version (which is my favorite, incidentally). But this footage is a good update (in terms of audio/video quality) for anyone who prefers the original. I've shared a bunch more background/links on this poem at my website; just wanted to say thanks for sharing!
I like my random colored socks lol, but yes. We should all strive to be the best version of ourselves, and that’s whatever that means to you. So if your goal is to be the best artist then do that, if you want to collect stuffed animals do that, if you want to bench the most and deadlift the most do that. Honestly it’s whatever makes you happy.
