hot take but I don't want to be remembered after i die. i want those who knew me to be happy that i was there and remember me, but that's it. i don't want to leave a visible legacy. i don't want my name to be passed down by generations and talked about for years to come. i simply want to rot in the ground and decay naturally, return to nature and have been a mere human whose existence mattered no more or less than another who died the same day as i. i want to achieve a lot in life, and i want my achievements to be recognised and useful whilst i am alive. but after i die, all i want my legacy to be is a smile, a good memory, someone who loved, and to be left in the past. i don't want people to recognise my name in a family tree. i just want to exist now and fade out when it's my time, like centuries of unnamed humans before me.

love me as i live now, and let my name fade out after i die. its okay to forget me, in fact, please do
