What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

What makes a life truly worth living or a legacy worth remembering? I believe it’s simple yet profound: if even one person who knew you personally remembers you with love after you’re gone, you’ve lived a meaningful life. But reaching that mark is harder than it seems. Most of us wear two facesone public, one privateand few know the real us behind closed doors.

I strive to keep my public and private selves aligned. I speak my truth plainly, without sugarcoating, even if it makes me unpopular. This authenticity invites raw honesty in return, which I welcome though it’s not always comfortable.

My goal isn’t to craft a perfect legacy or win universal approval. Instead, I focus on leaving no burdensdebts, unfinished tasks, or unresolved conflictsfor my family to carry after I’m gone.
