Shared with Your friends

As the performer Dorian Corey expounded in the documentary “Paris Is Burning”:

“I always had hopes of being a big star. But as you get older, you aim a little lower. Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. Then you think, you’ve made a mark on the world if you just get through it, and a few people remember your name. Then you’ve left a mark. You don’t have to bend the whole world. I think it’s better to just enjoy it.”

I also decided to just enjoy it. I have decided to be more intentional about managing and maintaining personal relationships, to watering those flowers.

When I am gone, and people remember my name, I want some of them to smile.
