Discussion What's something you'd like to be remembered through?

[gunmetalblue11]

What's the one thing you'd like for people to think of you as, or maybe remember you by when confronted with it?

It could be an object, a quote, a personality trait, a story, an opinion, happiness, sadness or absolutely anything.

What initially popped into my head was that I'd like to be forgotten, but I think that's my way of coping speaking lol. If anything, I'd want the people close to me to remember I loved them.

That's a lovely way to be remembered

 

[PI3.14]

I don't want to be remembered honestly.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

Nothing. I'd rather just be erased from existence.

I was gonna say the same but you make such a good point. Though it's less that I want to be remembered and more that I want people to have assurance that sticks.

Lots of people struggling with self-worth and doubt and shit and I genuinely want them to feel appreciated. Even strangers whose random video or art or music I like.

I get that, like helping and supporting others in ways you maybe can't receive yourself, even if it may be pointless in the end.
It's a respectable wish.

 

[darksouls]

society treated me like a subhuman, therefore I dont care what that vile scum thinks of me

Your ringtone :P

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'd like to be remembered as a kind person but then, I'm not always kind so- I probably don't deserve that. I gave my all pretty much to my creative work. So- if the memory of that lingered a little, that would be nice. I'm not delusional though. There are many more people out there better than me and, I'll be replaced in an instant so- that's an unrealistic wish too. I think I'm pretty ok with being forgotten about ultimately.

 

[Hermitcrab]

I want my League friends to think of me whenever their toplaner in ranked sucks:
"Hermitcrab lives there."
"Hermitcrab wins those"
"Hermitcrab's Morde/Irelia/Maokai was different"
They better lament the fact that I'm not their toplaner anymore
And I'm only half-joking here
But honestly I hope that when my loved ones think of me, the first thing coming to mind would be their fondest memory of me. How I lived, not how I died.

 

[tarnishedstoner]

My virtues and my values. How i would've acted in a certain situation.

 

[Chemi]

That i always tried my best to be kind, supportive and understanding. I want to inspire people to try the same. Kindness > Hatred

 

[FuneralCry]

I don't, I just want to be forgotten like I never suffered at all, this existence is just so futile, I wish I could just erase this existence I just always saw as the most terrible mistake, all I want is to be permanently unconscious where finally I'm at peace from the cruel, deeply undesirable abomination of existence that just causes harm and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured.

 

[SoulCage]

Woah, that question caught me by surprise. Made me tearful again.
Probably because I started thinking of my past and what parts are worth remembering. I lived a rather egoistic life. Chased pleasures to trigger happy chemicals and avoided conflict. I don't think I want to be remembered as a kind or supportive person. That would be a lie (in most cases).
I think I want to be remembered as someone who struggled with this reality. And that it somehow changes reality for everyone who is still alive or being born. Making it a place worth living for everyone. Not just the gifted or rich.
I know, a very big and unlikely wish.

In a way it would be your final wish you leave to the world. It deserves to be big and unlikely and whatever you'd want it to be.

 

[Naz667]

This question actually kills me, because everything i've built up is worthless. I have no IRL presence so the most people would remember me as is a brother/son/aquaintance. When I play video games, all I notably do is pour way too much time into those games.

I don't want to be forgotten. I don't want people to only remember my pain, burdening them with another sob story of a child CTB. I don't want people to just remember me as a no-life video game player who spent way too much time chronically online. But I don't have anything worth remembering, so i guess im just fucked

 

[whosready4tmrw]

I can't say I know what I'd want to be remembered for, but I know what I wouldn't.

I wouldn't want people to remember the scars they found, or the guilt and burden I've put of them. I wouldn't want people to remember how much I affected them when I was depressed.

Basically I want people to forget almost every part of me that actually existed, and remember the version I manufactured to keep them happy.

I'm sure that isn't true deep down. You have a personality, skills, interests. You say you play games and put a lot of value and time into them. May seem useless and stupid and maybe it is but, shows some level of passion (or brainrot dissociation I'll admit). There must be something about yourself or who you are or have been that you value? I hope.
Wishing you peace.

I get that. It's a painful but compassionate front to keep up until the end. But is there nothing you'd want to remember yourself for? Even a little detail you like or may have liked.
Wishing you luck.

 

[whosready4tmrw]

There's parts, for sure. But nothing anyone else would want to know me for. There's little bits of my life I enjoy for myself, but no one's gonna be touting them if I ctb

[SilentSadness]

After I die, the way I'm remembered will be meaningless to me. Hopefully by then, I will be in a much better fantasy world, or just sleeping peacefully in nonexistence forever, with this world being long forgotten. People can remember me in any way that makes them happy, otherwise they can just forget me. I don't really care.

 

[unbelievablydead]

for trying

and irises i guess

 

[itsgone2]

I really don't want to be remembered at all. I wish everything about me would just fade away forever

 

[collidedsigns]

Personally I've already recorded videos of me singing on my devices so people don't forget my voice. Music has been a huge part of my life so I'd like to be remembered through my guitar and and music

 

[gunmetalblue11]

remembered through my guitar and and music

The mother of my partner who has passed left me their guitar. I remember them through it.
