What about when I die?
"#WBU? - Future"
I think about some people like, maybe, Leonardo da Vinci
He died about five hundred years ago,
but we can still see him in books, magazines or documentaries nowadays
What about Mona lisa?
Her face is so famous that even Gisele Buintchen hasn’t shown up more than she did in magazine covers
What about me, though?
I don't know how to paint, and I guess I don't have that mysterious smile to be a very famous picture
They are really eternal
Like Elvis Presley, Charlie Chaplin even if you have never listened to one of his songs or seen one of his movies
everybody knows who they are
But in our story, who am I?
For instance, my great grandmother didn't do anything extraordinary
I know her name but I don't know many things about her
not even pictures of that time remained
And who was my great grandmother's mother?
Will my great grandson ask the same thing some day?
What about when everybody who knows about me is gone?
But I have this urge, the urge of going beyond my family
being famous
doing something very important, such as Einstein
but I think I don't know how to do any of these things.
So, this is the place you like the most in this city, isn't it? Me!
There are way more beautiful places than your silly face Vinicius
I'm thinking about downtown, what about you?
I don't know yet
" What is the place you like the most in this city?"
I have no idea! What a stupid project
You are gonna try photography for college, right?
Right!
Do you wanna go for a walk around the city with me so we can take some pictures?
You may have some ideas for the project, or whatever...
I don't even know what I'm gonna try for college
I'm in a doubt
Between?
Between...
everything and nothing.
If you compare who didn’t do anything important in life and who did
you will see that it's quite probable that we end up being nothing
maybe a name, a document
I think it's important to try to be important
But did these people who left something for humanity really care about this?
Or they only did really well what they knew how to
The truth is that I don't wanna leave this world with the feeling that I didn't do anything for it
or for everyone in it.
What about you?
