In a documentary, Paul Reubens reflected on the finality of death—how imminent and permanent it truly is. He shared that he simply wanted to get his story out before he was gone. That statement carries a powerful truth: every life holds a story, and every story matters.

We often think our story isn’t big enough, dramatic enough, or important enough to share. But that’s a lie. The struggles you’ve endured, the love you’ve given, the mistakes you’ve made, the wisdom you’ve earned—those experiences hold value beyond measure. Someone out there is waiting to hear a story like yours, because it might help them feel seen, understood, or less alone.

We don’t get to choose when our time is up. But we do get to choose whether we leave a trace of who we were and what we lived through. Sharing your story isn’t about ego—it’s about legacy. It’s about passing on hope, lessons, and light.

So write the book. Record the podcast. Have the conversation. Don’t wait for the “right moment.” The finality of death is real—but so is the impact of your life. Speak now, while you can. Because your story could be the key that unlocks someone else’s freedom.
