Deferred Dreams Always Explode

[Kiranja]

Subscribed. Beautifully put. You made me smile and want to dream on forever.

[Ravenclaw2313]

You're so articulate and beautiful. I could just listen to you talk about things I don't understand for hours and hours cause you make everything sound accessible and lovely. Also, and this is gonna sound a little crazy, I found myself scrolling up (more than once) to try and see the top of the drawing behind you. I swear I understand how videos work, but it was involuntary.

[quirkoholic]

I love this poem and I love your perspective on it. :) You have pretty words, sir. Pretty words.

[kaysyconundrum]

I love this poem, and you talked about it such a unique and interesting way.

dreams are such a sensitive topic because they are such a huge part of all of us but they really can be seen in many different ways, your interpretation is WONDERFUL :)

[L3TT3RFairy]

<3 I understand!!!! I love this interpretation. : D It's beautiful.

[topazfirefly]

There was so much awesome in this video. Seriously, this was so beautiful that any comment I can leave will sound trite and shallow. Basically, it gave me chills.

[RowlfWannabe]

in the last thirty seconds I both shouted and got chills. You have a beautiful mind.

[RowlfWannabe]

I liked this before I even watched it on accident just because I was so happy that you uploaded

[emmfan09]

@jpurney I hope my video doesn't contradict what you taught your students too much! I'm so thankful that you're going to share my perspective with them. That's one of the best things I've heard in such a long time. :]

[TheWannabeagoodyoutu]

Amazing plan out amazing

[hopeonatenspeed]

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SAY THINGS.

SAY THINGS TO ME ALWAYS.

[TheWannabeagoodyoutu]

@hopeonatenspeed Your videos are da BOMB! I love "youtube boys get me hot"

[emmfan09]

@hopeonatenspeed I WANT TO TALK TO YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. By the way, when are actually going to get to do that?! Hopefully soon.

[StateOfWishing]

You are my hero. This video was beautiful.

[fizzylimon]

I have missed you EVER so much.

[emmfan09]

@fizzylimon I have missed YOU ever so much, Steve!

[skywriter11]

Ryan, you do realize I have a doctor's appointment later, right? I can't just sit here all day marveling at how wonderful you are. I have to actually do things.

If I get the flu, I'm blaming you.

(Seriously, though. Wonderful. As usual.)

[rcsugar]

I love your videos! You analyze things in such unique and interesting ways. (And I also like the words that you use.) :)

[TeenAuthor]

My problem is an equally terrifying proposition, insomnia, the inability to dream when I want to, and when one does dream it's kind of hollow and everything just seeps into my waking hours where I'm slaving away at my work so that I don't have to dream my dreams. Meanwhile, that's doing fine, but my dreams of having more friends, or love, are somewhat deferred by reality, I hate romantic comedies, because real life's like love being an overdue library book and everyone you know's a librarian.

[rebexington]

I like this a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot.

[ntcssj]

Incredible. :)

[StellaPalmeiro]

You are absolutely brilliant.

[Friendswobenefits]

Alway Sex Plode.

[lauradoestheastro]

Did...did you say "tumbling all night in this cushioned mass"? You just made my Thursday night sound a lot more poetic and interesting than it actually is.

[emmfan09]

@lauradoestheastro Your Thursday nights are always poetic. And so is every other Tumblr-filled night.

[mingolando]

"I want to run so ahead of my dreams that they will not have the OPTION to defer!"

This line is now my life.

[Voldey]

My dreams are always filled with awesome adventures that would never happen in real life. After these said dreams, I wake up wishing that they were real. Then I come to the realization the dream wasn't real and wish I could have dreamed some more.

[lexaguitar16]

What everyone else in the comments said because I don't have the words or caffeination to think of any string of syllables to say in reaction to this.

[coralinehope]

chiiillllssss

[ohceecee]

RYAN this is so good! like, if i was auditioning for anything, i'd want to read this as my monologue.

[xperpetualmotion]

Wow, this was beautiful Ryan.

[GoAlybongo]

I love your facial expressions so much!

[TheCooper365Project]

Oh my. This was poetic, profound, and erudite. The way you use language is the way it is meant to be used.

[outsidergirl]

YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT STOP IT.

[Soniwizard]

yay I get to be one of those hipsters that says he knew of you before winning the nobel prize

[emmfan09]

@Soniwizard Hahahahahahasif. But the sentiment is quite wonderful. Thank you. :]

[LizzieRadio]

Ryry, this is like the best video I've ever seen. I need this to be written down and like. Published.

[elizziebooks]

BEAUTIFUL.  Tears welled up in my eyes.

[cateematthews]

[kassiehp0593]

Damnit, Ryan. You've got me all shaky and stuff.

I loved this so much.

I love you so much.

And also, I have a seven page paper due in 4 hours that I haven't started and I chose YOU over writing that paper. Because I love you most.

<3 Miss you.

[emmfan09]

Even when you're not reading poetry, your vlogs are always poetic.
