This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Tao Lin Your response to the perspective change seems interesting to me. I didn't expect it to have an effect like that.

I tried both first and third person, and liked third person more, maybe because of the extra feeling of detachment and distance it provided.

Kenneth Lian

Kenneth Lian asked Tao Lin:

I have trouble believing in anything for certain. All information from media, peers etc. and philosophies from books and public figures are interesting insights but doesn't program me to feel more grounded. I have questions such as 'why am I doing this' that makes me feel like meaning in life is slippery, like water. How do you find information that you can believe, and how do solidify meaning?
