Time is Short

This site has been visited professionally, and because of those visits, I feel compelled to publish something. I won’t delve into my meanderings, but I will mention that I saw the film Anora and found it lacking; I didn’t feel it was worthy of being labeled as the best film.

Conversely, I experienced a 1930s rendition of the opera Cosi fan Tutte, which I adored. 

On a more serious note, in March, I found myself serving as a death doula for three different individuals. I won’t go into details for privacy's sake, but it got me reflecting on how I would like to be remembered after I leave this world. 

I would want to be remembered as someone who despised mediocrity and repetition, someone who encouraged others to explore, dream, and discover. 

My learning and the causes that have been meaningful to me have kept my idealism alive, never yielding to cynicism despite the passage of time. 

My love of culture and the arts began in childhood within a musical family on my mother’s side. Although I embraced music and dance, it was not my chosen path, I found joy in them, and the thought of losing my independence to a life immersed in them drove me to pursue writing instead. 

I hope to be remembered as a cherished friend and supporter of artists. I could paint, but more importantly, I fostered creativity in others at every opportunity. 

My serious nature was accompanied by deep, intellectual, and spiritual conversations about mortality and my life's purpose. I would hope to be recognized for blending my melancholic musings into a magnetic, articulate, and sensitive pulse that ran deep. 

For all of my quirks, I managed to adopt humor, not taking myself too seriously—viewing myself as someone who expressed truths that struck chords and resonated on. 

In a world littered with egocentric loud people who are easily identifiable, authentic women of value are harder to find. These women do not make as much noise; instead, they create and produce work to the best of their abilities, sharing insights and radiating energy that brightens a room. They inspire change in how we think, live, and perceive the world. I would hope to be remembered as one of those women.
