Sometimes, I wonder what the last day of my life would look like.
In today’s text, I will focus only on my artistic activities, without writing obvious things like, e.g., I would farewell as many people I knew as possible. So what would I do knowing this particular day will be my last? After getting up, I would read at least one page of Seneca’s and Marcus Aurelius’ stoic writings about death. The truth is that during a day off of the office, I almost always start a day with reading. Their contemplations on death would bring a respected perspective of the inevitable occurrence on the last day of my life. Then, I would write a farewell text for this website. After finishing writing, I would walk for a very long photo walk to all the neighborhoods in which I live nearby.
Then, I would publish the farewell text with hundreds or even thousands of unpublished before pictures.
Photographs from my last photo would be published after my death. Then, I would eat something, nap, hug and kiss my beloved Kamilka, and wait for the climax, the final end. Of course, I do not have to mention you should treat this text with a pinch of salt. I do not know when I die. Luckily, I am only a human, not a demigod who can predict the future and prepare for his death. This text, for many people, would be considered nonsense.
The truth is that I decided to write it by being inspired by Marcus Aurelius’ writings, which encouraged me to assume that I felt like an already dead person and treat each upcoming day as if it were my last one. Thus, I simply imagined what I would do on the last day of my life, focusing only on the artistic aspect of my activities, which you read and see on the www.adammazek.com blog. After all, the Latin proverbs “Memento Mori” and “Carped Diem” will never be outdated. Seize the day, my Dear Friend, because tomorrow you may die.
