Camilo - please, you must say more about this, perhaps in another essay. These are profound musings. "I want to be missed. But I don’t want to cause pain. They are inextricably linked. It also makes me wonder what justice really means. I don’t think none of us know really."

I like this experimental format. For some reason I never thought about adding songs or more than one photo. Liked this verse in particular: “It could be tomorrow. It could be in 20 years. I realized this is partly why I write. In the face of a sudden end, my words will live on to comfort and evoke nostalgia.

I want to be missed. But I don’t want to cause pain. They are inextricably linked. “ It’s why I write too!
