So in my Sociology of Self class, I listened to the story of a man who was a freelance photographer who traveled all across Asia, who wondered what he would do if he were to die in 6 months. In a nutshell, he decided to visit all his brothers and sisters who were scattered all across the United States by only using a bicycle. He then spent the next 6 months on the road trying to visit his brothers and sisters, and would knock on strangers doors and tell him about what he was doing. Interestingly enough, most people would invite him in and he would tell them all about his story. People were really interested to hear his story, and they loved hearing how he truly was doing something this amazing. It was as if he was living out their dreams. At the end of the 6 months he finished and went back home and literally expected to die the next morning. He felt no regrets and went to sleep, only to wake up the morning in tears to find out how beautiful and grateful he was for his life.
I have thought of something like this and I really know what I want to do.
I want to start printing out and framing my photographs and handing them out to friends and family. I want to truly spread my love through the same photos that I love so much.
So I ask you: If you were to die in a month, what would you do?
