My legacy is none of my business.


My legacy is none of my business. It’s the business of those who survive me. 

What is “my legacy” but the thoughts and beliefs people hold about my life - things that have nothing at all to do with me and everything to do with people’s stories about me? (Not to mention I’ll be dead.)

I have absolutely NOTHING to gain by living for my legacy except a stressful story

People can remember me fondly, think me ridiculous, or spit on my grave - whatever brings them peace.

Because that’s all I really want for people in the end anyway.
