If This Was My Last Year As Darius What Would I Leave Behind?

I have recently been thinking a lot about death —  particularly my own. The idea of death has been finding me in my dreams and also in my waking life. 

I don’t mind. I actually appreciate it. Reflecting on the limited time I have left here on Earth helps me focus. 

I keep going back to the same question…”If this was my last year as Darius what would I leave behind?”

Recently I’ve been making some fun How-To YouTube videos, mostly on how to make better videos and how to look and feel great on Zoom. 

I love making these videos and you guys seem to appreciate them too. I want to keep making How-To videos that help people CREATE more cool stuff…

AND…

I HAVE SO MUCH MORE I WANT TO EXPRESS AND CREATE BEFORE I LEAVE!

The truth is we all have a last breath that is looking for us. 

My last breath might find me in 50 years from now or it might find me in 50 mins from now. 

When it finally does, I want to do everything in my power to make sure I don’t leave this earth and this body with light trapped inside me. Light that never got a chance to shine bright.
