A short first-person monologue reflecting on legacy and how one will be remembered at the end of life. The speaker imagines their hundredth birthday, family and future generations gathering (even via hologram), and argues that final priorities will focus on relationships and impact rather than everyday trivial concerns.

But what is it really all about? For me, it's about legacy. It's about looking forward to the end, to my hundredth birthday, and thinking about who's going to be around that table. What are they going to be saying? Who's going to send in some video or I mean, probably a hologram of themselves, honestly, at that point, and just beam themselves in and give a toast, and what they'll say and what was I able to do and how I was able to impact them, how that changed my kids, my grandkids, everybody else. And I don't say that's me. I think that's everybody. If we stop to think about it for a minute, because when we get to the end of our life, we're not going to be thinking about all the little trivial matters and all the little things that we spend a lot of our time focusing on now.
