What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?

We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes. In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone. Some very thoughtful members of the community share their thoughts on this with us below.

I hope people will say I was more than a magician — that I was a storyteller who made them feel like they’d stepped into another world, even if only for a moment.

I hope people say I showed up fully in both my personal life and my work. That I made people feel taken care of, seen, and supported. That I built things from the ground up and wasn’t afraid to figure it out along the way. I hope they say I was real. Read more>>

You mean like when I’ve gone on tour? Maybe opening for the Stones, or playing guitar for Oteil’s band? If it’s one of my friends, I hope it’s a story where either I was crying from laughing so hard or they were crying from laughing so hard. Ideally, everyone involved would have been crying from laughing so hard. Read more>>
