the only thing that comes to mind is a gift that someone i care a lot for bought me. i remember i kept it preserved in the box for like a month or two bc it felt very special. i still even have the box it came in just bc they touched it…

now that i think of it, i have no attachment to my belongings except this one. this was an easy question for me to answer. even though i love it so much, its not even really the gift itself, just who its from. its displayed in my room and i look at it everyday.

i totally understand, honestly as much as i just love the fish itself, its actually the first present my bf bought me after we started dating. its a reminder that even for a moment, someone cared... gifts like that, theyre precious.

I love the idea of it. Kind of like the Ancient Egyptians would be burried with all sorts of artefacts laden with symbolism.

I can't say I have huge attachment to many objects. Maybe some tools. I suppose symbolism wise, it would be nice to go with a lock of my mothers hair. She's already been dead for over 40 years but, it would be nice to be united symbolically I suppose.

Although really- I won't be going in for any fancy funeral rites. It's very likely I will arrange for a direct cremation so, for me, it probably doesn't hold much significance. I still love the idea though.

If my necklace doesn't count, and it just counts as clothing, then one of my sketchbooks.

Some clothings. I would hate being buried naked. I heard when people are found dead in the bathtube that fact whether they wore clothes indicates whether it was murder or suicide.

I think though clothing isn't considered an item. I think my mom would make my grave pretty expensive. Which I would consider a real waste of money. I think if I killed myself she maybe wouldn't even survive it. One reason why I didn't do it thus far.

Maybe I would like to have a Death Note. Lol. From the anime/manga series. I have one Death Note from my time as a teenager. My friends and I wrote each others names in it and thought about morbid ways to die. I love my friends so much. It would only be symbolic but I think this would be good. Even though, I think they should not waste time visiting my grave. They should laugh about my good old jokes at parties instead. Lol.

My sister who I'm really close with got super into crocheting a while back. She made this cute bunny thing with a sweater. She ended up not liking it and giving it to me. I know she doesn't really like the bunny that much but i really do love it :)

Nothing other than a suit and a tie, it would be a pity to for some lovable object to just rot there with me, i have a weird empathy for inanimate objects. I have a teddy bear that I've had for a very long time, I love it so much but I would not take it to grave with me because it would just...rot there, fall apart next to my ashses or whatever, I don't want that. It should stay here, my family should keep it safe (or at least that's what asked them to do in my suicide note draft), and sure everything is going to get destroyed at some point but at least I won't know it.

If my necklace doesn't count, and it just counts as clothing, then one of my sketchbooks.

Similarly, if my watch wouldn't count, I would take along one of my journals. Probably my first journal, which I started around the time I was in the 3rd grade; everything I wrote within it comes off as very innocent and gilded. Completely different to how my writings appear now (I've been writing practically my entire life).

Not to be a Debbie downer but nothing..... I want to be cremated

 

[daysnumbered]

I guess my headphones. Music is the one thing that always brings light into the darkness, and color into the shades of gray. Music will be the one thing I will miss the most when I'm gone.

 

[darksouls]

my wish is to be buried in an urn together with my pets, but this is forbidden in my country

 

[tomame]

i'd like to be cremated and blown in the wind

My computer. Too much shit on there.

 

[Anonymousa]

Would like to bring a plushie with me but they would prefer to not be stuck in a grave forever so i don't know...

Same.

This will sound childish but I have a blanket I've had since I was a child that's actually an old twin bed comforter that's been worn out and patched but I promise it's the best blanket to sleep with. If I am not cremated I wanna be buried with it.

not childish in my opinion ... i still sleep with my baby blanket.. to be honest its a hard choice between the blanket and my fish plush (if i could only choose one) but as much as i love my blanket i just like having something soft to hug more :")

Some clothings. I would hate being buried naked.

id say dying clothed is the (ideal) default, and what you die wearing might be just as important as what you bring with you.
personally if im able to, id like to die almost as if ill fall asleep.. so i went looking for the prettiest pajamas i could find, and now i have a couple of pieces from gelato pique ♡
