Nobody Eulogises the Expected

At every funeral, conversations skip over a lifetime of normal, rational behaviour and land on the weird stories — the time someone broke out, the unexpected thing they did. The normal self gets you through life unmemorable. Use the funeral as a thought experiment: if you died tomorrow, would anyone have a story to tell? If not, you're hiding the parts of yourself that would have mattered most.
