by whom? For how long into the distant horizon of future peoples’ memories? It does seem important to make an impact somehow if that is what matters to one’s pride & spirit.
These questions allow me to rest without needing to answer, it is a difficult question for me anyways.
There must come a point where a civilization that once stood is no longer remembered by any present one.
After letting it sink in and my existential anxiety settle down I can now answer I want to remembered for caring about preserving nature in whatever form that may metamorphosize into as for right now that’s a “pipe dream”.
Oh boy, it feels a bit funny to say these things or to write them down. A bit Braggy or narcissistic.
This could be my low self esteem talking.
But, I would like to be remembered as kind, helpful, funny, adventurous, and thoughtful.
I think about Steve Jobs and his regrets while he was dying. I think what happens is, people get very closed in and fearful, and think it’s only important to be kind to their immediate family. Everyone else gets shown the tough, mean, powerful, cruel, and successful person.
We have been taught to believe that it’s us against them. Us against the “others”. That if someone else gets more, I will get less. That there is scarcity.
That there’s not enough to go around and some
people will just have to suffer. All of this thinking is so small minded and shows a lack of creativity. We are problem solving machines. There is enough.
Sorry for the detour. A lot on my mind.
It would be nice if people would remember care and loving kindness received and may be sometimes deep running support, sometimes possibly healing of kindred hearts and beyond. Thank you.
My Ngoc, as my high school friend, Lindsey, has corrected me before. She told me that when we say that we want to do something to someone, it’s negative. When it’s positive, we use “for.” I’m sure you mean that you want to be remembered for the cherritable works you do “for” people.
Thank for those who have emailed me about your interest in the group video call! (Email if you didn’t see it: [email protected]) Excited to get this going and will be sending an email regarding dates/times and purpose of this group video call, etc. Stay tuned!
I was born to play the piano. I want to be remembered as a piano player with interests and pursuits beyond the keys living a lifestyle close to a typical person.
I cared and showed up.
That my relationships were healthy to me and others.
That I was a good steward of the land.
That I made a difference and carried out my purpose.
As a loving mom and caring friend. I remember reading somewhere ‘what others think of me is none of my business’ so it’s none of my business how I want to be remembered by others. I just try to be loving, kind, thoughtful, and caring. I’m not perfect, make mistakes, try to learn from them and remain focused on positivity and living in the present.

Another question
come to mind . . .
How do I think I will be remembered?
I would like to be remembered as being kind, warm and welcoming.
Some that come to mind, are compassionate, kind, loyal, supportive, deep and trusting. An adventurous soul!

Thank you, Charlie, I enjoyed the read.

I want to be remembered for the charitable deeds I did to people rather than people remembering me.
As if the idea itself, I support it. This gives us greater control. People can think what they think.

Living in the moment, Michelle, without attachement to what other’s think. Beautiful.
I’m right with ya on this 💯%, Michelle.
Wow! I had to pray over this one for a long time, but it finally came to me:
“In the end, she surrendered and He shone through her so all you could see was Him.”
That is so so beautiful, Dawn Elaine☀️☀️☀️
She loved and lived fully.
Yes! ♥️
