A good reputation, a well running business, amazing friends, the most mesmerizing fiancé in the world, a hyper-supportive family, friends that are really that. Can it really get better?
I’m a lucky man.
There was that moment when I was being interviewed about our 10 year anniversary and the question came up what my legacy was. Answer: Me. The brand will vanish. The recipes will be diluted or changed or both. If I die, I die. There is no legacy but who I was. What I stood up for, what I represented.
I’m a result of my past.
And I take that seriously. It’s not an excuse, but an encouragement to be a little bit better every day. If I wake up that is.
So it’s not about how I wake up, but how I go to sleep.
With a clean conscious or not. Did I do my best? Probably not, we all have higher expectations towards ourselves then we should have, so “the best” is really just a concept of oppression. But I did my best, what I thought was right and prudent at the time.
Not good, but good enough.
The motto of the party I want for my funeral. I do try. Every day. As so many do. I’ve seen them. I’ve hold them, I’ve pushed them and I’ve sustained them. That is my life. And that’s what I would like people to celebrate, if they’re any close to me. Maybe even more. Who knows, maybe by the time I die my way of viewing the world will be enough to start one of those “movements”.
If I just had TikTok…
