That is a great question I have been asking myself.
First I wanted to leave a mark for my kids.
As a writer, I feel like I have to tell my story so that they will hear it from me.
Then I wanted to leave a legacy through my work and the people that crossed my path.
Yet I digged deeper. And I found the answer to that question truly.
Beyond my kids, my legacy, I don't have the answer to the question.
The answer is already in the question.
Let me explain.
How do I want to be remembered?
That is not relevant. Deep down I just want to be remembered.
I just want to have not lived for nothing. I just want to scream.
I am that kid who will carve their name in the trunk or a tree : "Mad has been here."
Everything else I tell myself to answer that question is a lie.
