Assignment 19 - Benjamin Givens

I used to be a sarcastic asshole. I still like to think that I have a certain wit about me, but I am not nearly as uncaring as to the feelings of others as I once was. What finally made it click for me was listening to Robert Moran talk about how he changed his entire way of thinking and creating content, because he realized that negative content was not what he wanted to create. He compared his current self to that of fifteen years ago and found that by making things that are more positive and happy that he felt better himself, and he hoped those watching would as well. Being negative is really easy, just point out all that is wrong any situation in a humorous way. It's like eating a pound of Hershey's chocolate in one sitting—it can feel good in the moment, but it has long term ramifications.
