I still feel being "disappointed" is harsh. He's 26 and just wanted his thoughts out. He may have been trying, maybe even subconsciously, to emulate some literary devices more or less successfully in an effort to better convey his feelings but I really don't think the point was to write great literature.

To theirs credit, the part about watching their mother suffer was very relatable and felt extremely honest. I guess I was hoping that they would open with something like that instead of talking about their philosophy first. You're right though, the writer is likely young and I shouldn't expect so much.
