-In my personal opinion, Frida tried to express in her diary that she wanted to have a simple death,
without pain and that she wanted to be free. She had already been successful, she had a great
career as an artist and showed a clear example of improvement for the new generations, so she
said that in her diary to die and be happy knowing that she already left her legacy and showing
that people can be successful. If they do something that they love and that passion will come
alone
