Death. Because What's A Happier Subject?

So, this isn't going to be nearly as depressing as you think it's gonna be. I promise. This isn't just a post telling you that you're gonna die, because that would be lame.

I listen to a lot of music, and one of the lines that I remember having heard was in a Macklemore song. It went like this: "I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave. And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name." That's really deep. You could dig a hole for like, 17.5 years straight, and this would still be deeper. Think about that moment. The very last time that somebody says your name, or brings you up in conversation. Knowing that that is the last time that somebody is going to think about you. That is the end of your life. The physical one didn't count.

I thought that that was a pretty cool thought, because.. well.. I actually don't know why. It was just cool.

Anyway, moving on to the actual meaning.

So, I felt this on a personal level, because that's basically what I'm afraid of. I want to leave something behind in this world. I don't want to be forgotten for a while. Can you imagine if you died, and then a few years later, everybody had forgotten about you? I want to leave a legacy that lasts years and years past my lifetime. Not in a like, dictatorship kind of way, because that's weird, but like a "Look at all that this man accomplished for good. Look at the positive influence that he was." I want to affect people in a good way, to show them that there is still good in the world, that people care about them, that you can find joy in everything that surrounds you.

I don't want to be another statistic or number. I don't want people to just think of me as their great-great-grandfather that we have no records on. I don't want to be just another cold grey gravestone that people never look at. You know which ones I'm talking about. When you're walking in the graveyard, and the only thing that people say is, "Wow, that one's so old, you can't even read the name. Wonder who it was", and keep walking.

I don't want that.

I'm not letting that happen to my future.

Who the heck would settle for that.

Again, I'm not trying to like, say I deserve better than anybody else, because right now, quite honestly, I don't. I just want to reach a point in my life where I'm important to lots of people. A point where I was a pillar in a community. A cornerstone for some movement. Anything. I want to make a difference that will last past my death.

So on that depressing note lol

I'm probably gonna check out now. It's been a blast and I just needed to get this off my chest. Or out from behind my face, and above my throat, so to speak :)

Anyways

Adios mi dudes.

Love Y'all
