It probably isn’t too healthy to think about dying, but for the sake of argument let’s pretend I am dead. (Ignore the fact that dead people can’t type.) If my death would come at a young age my legacy wouldn’t be much. Maybe somebody would mention the fact that I had never truly finished a novel, or maybe they’d talk about the way I went through a lot in life at a young age but still worked hard to make others smile. However if I were much older I might want to be known as someone who worked hard in life and tried the best I could. It doesn’t truly matter what my accomplishments are as long as I can make myself and the people in my life happy. I want to leave behind a wonderful family and some amazing close friends. I’d want them all to know how beautiful they are and how much I truly care for them.
Overall, I don’t need to do something amazing; I just want to be remembered well. Maybe my headstone can be simple and say something like “She loved and was loved.” That would mean the world to me, because I would know that even if I’m not famous that somebody will have fond memories of me in their heart because I did good in their lives.
