What is one thing you want to be remembered by?
As time goes on, and life, we come and meet many people in our lives, perhaps some for a limited time, others for a lot longer. What is one trait or characteristic of yourself do you want to leave behind to the people around you? What impression do you want to leave that defined who you are?
For me I want a life that is full of kindness. I strive to be kind everyday whether it's through external habits such as holding the door for someone or internal habits such as learning how to have favorable dispositions towards others and coping with anger
@sunnyWriting4806 My kindness! I love to help others and I do wish people remember me by that.
@comfortableNight4463
Kindness is quite the most positive impact we can have on other people, I agree!
That my efforts have made our world a better place with the people I have served feeling happier and grown.
@awesoul
What a profound and well-spoken goal! I'm sure the people around you have already grown and are happier that you are in their lives. Thanks for sharing!
@sunnyWriting4806
I've realized with age that as long as I'm content knowing that I was truly authentic to myself and others that I'll have lived a good life. What others may or may not say or feel about me (especially at the point of my passing) would not be of much consequence.
However, I'm obviously still (only) human. And with that, I wouldn't mind people having known me for my kindness towards them. And that after interacting with me, that maybe they felt better afterwards. That's all the thanks or validation I would ever need for this life. :)
@sereneSunset26
That's a really great insight! Thanks for sharing! Right! Perhaps the biggest satisfaction to our lives is knowing that we lived our lives according to how we want it. That authenticity truly leaves for genuine happiness and content throughout.
@sunnyWriting4806
my kindness, humour, being me and not trying to be like everyone else and my love for the people who are in my life who deserve it 💕

@emotionalTalker2260 @sunnyWriting4806 thank you for the tag emo and this is an interesting topic!
Uh oh, hard question though XD I actually want to be forgotten. But if I am remembered by something, I'd want that to be that I had a safe and comforting presence and people could be their authentic selves around me. (I also find "self" to be an interesting concept, maybe our "selves" are more flexible than we think 😮) #randomthoughts bye XD
@theriverissinging , that actually made me think 0:
@theriverissinging
Deep thought! Made me question existence for a bit here haha! But yes! I also really want to be known now as a safe and comforting presence to others (especially as I want to work in the healthcare in the future).
@emotionalTalker2260 , aww thanksie for tagging me. :") ❤ me loves your answer.
I would like to be remembered for my love and care for the people I found close to me c: Maybe to some , I would like to be remembered as someone who was there for them when they felt completely alone (totally not bragging about me), or as someone who sent them a loving message or made a sweet gesture when they were having a hard time , or simply as someone who is kind, loving and also sometimes annoying (:P) , and beautiful in my own way. I get a huge joy when someone tells me they remember as someone who helped them keep going, or motivated/encouraged them to take a step they wouldn't regret. *-*
@Aikyaa01
What a beautiful answer! I would love to be told that someone was the reason why they continued on doing something and striving for better. I'd say that description most fits my mother who has done all that stuff for me in my life. Thanks for sharing!
@emotionalTalker2260
That's a very sweet four things to be remembered by! Thank you for answering :)
@sunnyWriting4806
:) you are very welcome
Hey @sunnyWriting4806, this is a very thoughtful question! Thankyou for creating this thread. I like your answer, being remembered as someone kind is perhaps the simplest most amazing thing ever! ❤
Thankyou for tagging me @emotionalTalker2260, I adore your response, especially the "being me and not everyone else" part. You're awesome as you are and nobody should question that ever! *koala sloth hugs Emoo* :P 🤗❤
Now my turn to answer xD *thinks*
I feel, I'd be more than happy to be remembered as someone, who made everyone feel like a "someone" too, someone seen, someone heard, someone acknowledged, someone appreciated, someone loved, someone cared for, the list is endless hehe!
I think, to look out for one other, to mean the words "equality" and "humanity" in its very essence and practice, will be the only thing that really matters, at the end of the day! ❤
❤ Tagging some awesome people, @Starlasky, @Whiteroses25, @ouicherie, @FighterArpi, @bubblingbreeze14, @Varyingcloud, @GoldenRuleJG, @moonlemon48

Coming to the difficult part..
I might want to be remembered (if at all) as just that someone, thinking about whom can bring genuine smile on face, love in heart and contentment in soul. That would be my gift of being alive!

You're a gift to everyone who know you @VaryingCloud, I mean it 100%. 🤗

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou amazing answer Sun :)
I would just like to be remembered as someone who cared ❤️
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
😛 *koala sloth hugs sun* you’re very welcome for the tag
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
What a really thoughtful answer! I think that's amazing how you're able to concisely fit all the things you want to be remembered by into two concepts. Equality and Humanity are great words and I'm sure many people remember you already for many great things! Thanks for sharing!
@sunnyWriting4806 An important question that we should remind each other every once in a while because this is our guiding light 💜 thank you! Btw, I like that random act of kindness everyday.
And thank you for tagging me on this post @Sunisshiningandsoareyou 💜 and Sunny, I feel what you want is already you. I think everyone would agree.
Ever since I was a kid, people say I'm kind and funny. I think I want it to stay like that. And the good thing is, kindness is always en vogue here 😁
Just additional notes that I learned in life about kindness:
- It's easy to be kind to kind people. Your kindness will get tested when you're face with unkindness/ unfairness towards you.
- The more unkind someone, the more they need kindness.
- People say harsh words, abusive or act arrogant, usually because either they're hurting, their self-defense mechanism activated, or hidden low self-esteem. And it takes willpower to see beyond the rope.
I'm bad at remembering usernames but these are some deep thinkers xD @DonaldDraper @Fristo @AmazingNutella24
Cheers! 💜
@ouiCherie
Thanks for sharing! That insight you had about being kind to unkind people is really profound, I think you're definitely on to something when you say that it's really easy for everyone to be nice to someone that is nice and kind back to then. Where real kindness comes is the ability to demonstrate that kindness to someone who isn't that kind to you back. Will have to keep this in mind when reminding myself of wanting to be kind to people!
I would like ro be an amazing daughter, friend and a person who did the things I would like to do and feel worthy to do the things I want. To save myself and know how far I can go.
@WhiteRoses25
What a great and fulfilling answer! I agree the most we can leave behind can be primarily through the interactions with our loved ones. Make sure to cherish them daily! Thanks for answering <3
@sunnyWriting4806 This is such a wonderful post it made me think so much hahah! Good job sunny❤
@sunisshiningandsoareyou Thank you alot for tagging me and introducing me to this post. This is a tough one but let's see what comes out xD
Alright so, I want to be remembered as someone who was always ready to fight for someones rights, someone who was always up to face the darkest nights and welcome the brightest mornings. Someone who leaves an example of what a pleasure it is to live life with Kindness. Someone who isn't afraid to say no. Someone who has a brave mind and a soft heart. ♡
@Moonlemon48
Ayee moon buddy aka sibling 😛 I know it is a tough one hehe, you did so well, and expressed yourself so nicely anyway, which by the way isn't surprising at all! ❤
That's a wonderful way to be remembered as, I love how you included different aspects of your awesome personality! Specially loved the last bit, a brave mind and a soft heart ~ how beautifully *you*. ❤
@Moonlemon48
Of course! A little mind jogging for everyone XD,
Brilliant answer! I totally agree, sometimes kindness can too often be mixed in with agreeable or timid, but doesn't have to be so! Being proactive and brave is one of the quintessential ways of being kind to one another, especially displaying courage for those who may not have as much in their situation.
@sunnyWriting4806
oooooh.. such a wonderful 😍 questions and kind of a tricky one too 😋
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you Sun, for tagging me. It's great to know that you thought of me when you read this post. 😍That's so lovely.. Thank you ❤️
To answer the question,
I'd like to be remembered by the Breeze they feel whenever they talk with me. 😋😄 All I want anyone who talks with me to feel is that they are safe, calm, loved, cared for and of course for them to smile.
I'm not expecting anyone to remember me with anything, but if they actually do.. I'd like them to remember me with those. I'd like them to feel all of that when they think of me. If that's possible of course 😄

Aww ofcourse you Breezy being, you're super duper awesome and it truly feels *at ease* while talking to you or seeing you around! Keep up with the Breeze of kindness, support, encouragement, love and care that you already are. ❤

Sun ☀️❤️ * Breeze is speechless * Thank You. You are an amazing person yourself Sun! No doubt in that. I'm 100% sure that this community is so happy and lucky to have such a fabulous being here. 💚💙💜💛
*Big hugs* Sun..
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Another thing I forgot to mention.. *Crazy Breeze*
You've mentioned in your post something like this
I feel, I'd be more than happy to be remembered as someone, who made everyone feel like a "someone" too, someone seen, someone heard, someone acknowledged, someone appreciated, someone loved, someone cared for, the list is endless hehe!
Guess what, you are already being remembered already as you mentioned. As someone who appreciates, acknowledge, cares, make others laugh, wonderful and simply AWESOME..❤️
@bubblingBreeze14
I'm sure many people will remember you for what you said Breeze! Wow, typing this out at my house I coincidentally got a night breeze through my window, and it felt amazing! I can really feel the analogy you felt there of wanting to be like a breeze. A slight of coolness, the feel of home, and refreshing to one's senses! Great analogy <3
@sunnyWriting4806
Aww... Breeze is everywhere 😄💫
I'm glad you felt that calming breeze 😊 and Thank you for this wonderful post! I'm sure many will remember you as well for teh beautiful person you are.. ❤️
Thank you for everything you do for this community!
@sunnyWriting4806
@bubblingBreeze14 - Thank you for tagging me, Breeze 💛
With the conversations we’ve had together, you do resemble the Breeze that we experience in our nature ✨ I feel calm, safe, supported and cared for - and from my observations, many others do feel similar as well 😊
Regarding those questions, I have certainly thought about them before, about what I’d like to be remembered for 😯
Hmm, I hope that I would be remembered as someone who genuinely cares, understands, supports, and appreciates others ✨ Others being listeners and members - we all are different, yet similar in many ways - who have experienced and can experience good and bad times 😊
I also hope that I would be remembered for trying, despite the negatives/challenges, and that I would be associated with calm and peace 🌿 The sunflowers in my profile pic may add to remembering me for holding on to and encouraging others to hold on to hope and gratitude, as well as choosing to be positive/happy and feeling calm 🌻
@GloriaD
Aww.. Gloria ❤️ I'm glad our conversations give you a positive experience.. It means a lot!
I'm sure all those who talks with you understands what a wonderful person you are and they would surely remember you as such. I know I do..
And of course, how can one neglect your sunflowers.. 🌻😄 I see them everywhere when you're around 😊🌻
About the fact that you also would like to be remembered as a person who constantly keeps learning and moving forward... I'd like to prase my answer for it like this;
Just as the sunflowers you hold keeps looking at the sun, moving towards light all day through, (despite the odd circumastances like rainy or cloudy days :D), you too keep moving towards the light. Finding the slightest opportunities to learn and grow and keep moving forward.
Always be that sunflower.. I'm sure you'll be blooming daily with a wonderful radiance just like the sunflowers. 🌻🌻
Oh, and Breeze will keep flowing around those sunflowers to make sure they are dancing happily 😃
@GloriaD
What a lovely answer. I also love sunflowers as well as you can perhaps tell through my profile. Personally if you combine a dog with a sunflower you'll achieve the most happiness and peace inducing image :D
I'm sure many people already remember and have a great impression of you on this site - members and listeners alike. Thank you so much for all you do for all of us <3 and thanks for sharing :)
@sunnyWriting4806
A nice and caring friend
@imagineBeingHappy143
Very simple and sweet answer! I also really want to be known by my friends who is caring and kind tot hem. Sometimes it may be hard, not going to lie, but at the end of the day I want to be considerate of who they are because they are my friend!
@sunnyWriting4806
hi, I would like to be remembered by my inventions in the future which would help the world and environment. Thanks.
@diplomaticPond9736
Appreciate a budding environmentalist/scientist! Glad that people like you are poised to make a difference in our world (there's really so much things to be done!)
@sunnyWriting4806,
thanks for words of encouragement and motivation. :)
@emotionaltalker2260 and @ouiCherie 🧡 Thank you for the tag.
I agree with what you said about kindness. "It's easy to be kind and it's even easier to forget that" - DonaldDraper
I want to be remembered for making a positive difference to the world or humanity. For starting something that snowballed into something huge.
(Remember, just for starting. Finishing it sounds like too much work, let others do it xD)
Tag: @mamtasha22, @lovetogod, @ariadnelove,
@DonaldDraper I noticed you already started the snowballs of many positive things here.
I hope it keeps rolling bigger and bigger.
Keep creating the snowballs, you're great at it! ❤
@DonaldDraper
Haha great answer! I totally agree with you, I'm a really big starter, just not a great finished when it comes to getting things done XD. But that's okay!! Positive things can be built upon smaller things and sometimes being the base and foundation is more important the entire building itself :)
Thanks for answering! <3
