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.
