A speech that has the possibility to change your whole perspective on existence

This post is totally not related to Kate, fashion or anything like it, but just watched the video below for the first time and had to share it.

As a 25 year old college student with a part time job at a law firm, I am sometimes terrified by the prospect of the routine, stress and boredom that are to come in the next days, weeks, months and years as I participate in so-called 'adult life'.  That is why I am so glad I came across this speech.  

The speech was given by the late David Foster Wallace at Kenyon College in 2005 and it is about taking yourself out of the tempting narrow focus of your own existence and try and change your perpective about your world and the people around you. Normally I am quite skeptical about these things, but trust me: it's a good one!

Hi Tatiana,

I really enjoy your site as you provide so many ideas for style and repli-Kates. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for posting the "This Is Water" video. I am a 41 year old woman in California who has been in the rat race for only 15 years and I am already fantasizing about retiring (which I can in no way do). It was so nice to not only hear the message of the speaker, but also to realize that I am not the only one who feels like I am in a never-ending merry-go-round with people "in my way". It's nice to know I am not alone and that other people are having a hard time too. Thank you.
