Abandon all hope?

Post Reply New Topic

in my opinion trying to fit in doesnt make you a loser, but only wanting to use your brain stem. reguardless i enjoyed the video. im happy with being me, but it would be nice to have a whole grip of friends

I like your videos, but I think this one is a bit all over. Maybe because it's longer than you usually make. I've never made a video but I imagine that it's like writing an essay in that the longer it is and the more complicated the more you have to plan it out before you present it. It's possible to write just one sentence, or make just one statement, without planning it much and people will understand. But to make a longer video, or write a longer paper, you need to know your beginning, your middle and your end, and what happens inbetween, and why the various parts are there. There are countless books about this, most of which are not very good, but some of them are.

I think you are saying a lot of different things, many of which I agree with, and some of which I don't. The main issue, as others have pointed out, is the title. Who should abandon hope of what, and what does the question mark mean?

I thought it all up on the fly. Which would be why it's disjointed. I don't like reading scripts, as it gives it a...too sterile appearance, and I may not say something that I would have if I wasn't just going along without thought beforehand (other than the general idea).

Abandon all hope has a couple of meanings, and each meaning is intended for a different audience:

-me speaking about the plight of how my autism makes me fail at social adaptation and the life my peers lead (I've tried and failed many, many times); most people would think it refers to this, but it's not my meaning
-abandon hope for a cure as people can be happy and content no matter how disabled they are, which is my point
