Discussion do you want to be remembered?

[divinemistress36]

When you are dead your ego will also be dead so you won't care

 

[Exact Change]

I want to be forgiven and the forgotten

 

[Leavesfromthevine]

I never really know what I actually want. Being realistic with myself though is the fact that I'll be forgotten pretty quickly. I've always just blended in and never made an impact.

Most likely if I do get remembered it's going to be people reminiscing about some period of life and remembering something dumb I did or said followed by "I wonder what ever happened to him"

Of course there might be a few people on here who will remember my great pfp lol

 

[Endofit]

I wish i could be erased from all memories

 

[BlessedBeTheFlame]

No one wants me here in the first place, so no, I don't want to be remembered. Subhuman degenerates like me don't deserve such luxury.

All I've ever wanted is to be able to help people and make them smile. If I die as someone who has changed people's lives for the better, even a little bit, that would be wonderful. My kindness was my true downfall, I focus on everyone else's needs before I begin to consider my own.

I feel this!

 

[sserafim]

... what it says on the tin, i suppose.

do you? if so, how?

... for me, i don't mind how i'm remembered so long as i am. people can mythologise me. make me a monster or angel. so long as it's for memory's sake.

somehow, i just desire to be more, to be something, when i'm dead rather than alive. irony, maybe.

i don't know if i'll ever be more than a headline

Nope, I'd rather be forgotten. I wish that all traces of my existence could be erased, and it could have been like I never even existed at all.

Same, tbh I don't even feel human. I feel more like an alien.

I dunno, sometimes I wanna be remembered, other times I just wanna fade away. Never really gave it much thought

If we could erase ourselves from people's memories before we CTB, that would be the ideal but, seeing as we can't...

I have fond, happy memories of the people I loved. I hope a few people will have happy memories with me. Some weren't so good but hopefully, they will forgive and forget those. I'd rather them be happy rather than sad or angry.

The spoilt brat, needy part of me probably hopes that people will feel sorry for the more tragic bits in my life. Hopefully they'll understand why my ending, if I do CTB was a long time coming.

 

[onbekend]

Nope. Hoping to delete every trace of myself off the internet. Good thing I just got access to all my old baby photos in a box, Planning on getting a big old gasoline canister and lighting the damn thing ablaze. Of course, there are still records of my existence from like archives and stuff but I don't really care about that as long as it's hard to find anything left of me.

 

[Tears in Rain]

In 1,000 years, only a small handful of people now alive will be remembered. In 10,000 years even those few will be forgotten. So what difference does it make if we are forgotten the day after we die?

This.

I don't know if this was a warped thing to do, but when my mom died a couple weeks ago, I knew my time was coming to an end.

I freaked out and just texted everyone on my contact list saying she passed away. People I stopped taking to, coworkers, friends, even the fucking lady I've been trying to sell my mom's car to. I was flooded shortly after with condolences, but I was so empty inside that nothing mattered. I guess it was an attempt to feel something, a last cry out for warmth to thaw my ever freezing heart.

Anyways, a friend that had been there for me off and on in the past reached out and offered to fly me up to see her so I could grieve in peace. My plan was to visit her and her husband and just have a good ass time and to depart them with happy memories of me. So I did. One night, I got high with her and we just talked about the most ridiculous, hilarious thing, my cat that is now her cat. I broke threw her shell and got to see her most genuine laugh possible. It was an absolute rarity. My plan was working!

So I returned home shortly after, but then she got suspicious and started piecing things together and realized what I was up to. Fuck. In my attempt to depart with fond memories and hopefully fade away, I broke her.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's a fine line to walk when it comes to wanting to/saying goodbye. It's never an easy thing to do, nor is it a guaranteed success. As tempting as it is, it's ok if you don't because the hurt factor, if caught, is far more crushing than a pleasant goodbye.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I don't care if I get remembered or not. In truth, I'd ideally wish to not be remembered but, even if me dying peacefully meant that people will remember me, I wouldn't care and I'd take the death

 

[4g1vvvven]

Definitely not, I hate the idea that I'm memorable and that others think of me

 

[borderlinee]

I don't think it matters, but no. It's like I would've never existed at all and that's a comforting feeling. Everyone's going to be forgotten eventually, I hope people can move on from my death easily.

i guess so. even if i dont find living appealing, i have the desire to be someone to many people before i die. i guess it would be cool to be mourned by many people. but if i were to think for the people who know me now, i would want it to be as easy as possible for them. i wouldnt want to be remembered then.
