Oh, wow. This is fantastic. SO many lines stand out to me: "We’re complex, we’re flawed, we screw up, and sometimes we don’t even have the decency to learn from it. And we’re always running out of time," and "So yeah, rest in peace, Brando. You were a grumpy, surly bastard with a talent that spoke louder than any of your words ever did" among my favorites. I wonder if our society has always been so legacy-minded, or this notion is in part thanks to social media. Either way, I love how punchy and honest this piece is.

Thank you so much! I think if we weren't legacy minded, we would have never chiseled on cave walls, built massive skyscrapers, or traveled to space. It's natural to want to leave a mark.

If there was a giant window separating your soul, you had me pressed up against it looking in. I enjoyed it.
