Legacy.

So, I just turned a year older two days ago, I’m a quarter-century old. Okay, now let’s get to the topic at hand. The concept of time is interesting to me, I think I still struggle with it from time to time, see what I did there? Let me explain… or try to. I know I have the potential to learn and do a lot of things, but the fact that everything takes time to be decent at, makes me want to focus on things I’m already good at. I don’t know if that’s a problem or not. A lot of people say you should focus on your strengths and not so much on your weaknesses. What if your weaknesses are more interesting than your strengths, now what do you do? Let’s get back to the topic at hand which was TIME, shall we? it’s crazy to think that everybody you know right now and every homo sapien alive right now will statistically be dead by the year 3021, that’s over 7 billion people gone, just like that… let that sink in… When you think about things this way, it makes you want to leave a mark in the world, leave a legacy of some sort, either it be big or small, popular or not, makes you want to leave something. I think this is what people chase when they seek popularity or at least some people. I figured the way I would like to leave a mark in this world is through my art, and thanks to the internet everything you post on here stays here forever. The dilemma is, should what you leave, matter to you, the rest of the world, or both? My true belief is that for it to matter to everybody else it has to genuinely matter to you first, and you also have to love it, that’s important, you have to learn to LOVE what you LIKE. “To be selfless, you have to be selfish where it matters.” Nah, that’s too long of a quote, how about this, “To be selfless, you have to be selfish.” Now that’s better.
