What Vishal said
He said in the note, “Learn anything? Success does not guarantee peace or contentment. Riches & power don’t guarantee safety. Life is strange, life is short. Don’t waste a single moment lying to yourself about yourself. Don’t try to be what somebody else said you must be! Live. Fully. Best advice I can give.”
In the caption, he wrote, “All we truly have is the thin sliver of “now” that exists between memory and hope.”
