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
My overall fun and goofy energy that I project around other people. I love to make people feel good, smile, and laugh. I love feeling everyone be happy and less stressed when I am around. I hope they spread the fun and love around to others on this earth when I am not around. 🥲

That's such a happy and joyful demeanor. I wish to have your positivity as well! I'm sure you're really fun to be around and I think fun and laughter are great ways to be remembered for. I personally have friends I know I can rely on to just have a good time with them :)
Thanks for answering!
I would like my future ability (not able to do this yet) to chant 100,000 repetitions of the most famous Buddhist mantra each day. I want to be able to bless everyone that I come in contact with.
I guess in summary is my compassion and my aspiration in midst of depression.
@brightJet84k
That's super inspiring. Even in the midst of your own problems and obstacles, you wish to become a source of compassion and joy for us and that's honestly so admiring! I appreciate that answer and it speaks depths into who you are as a person. Thank you for your kind soul <3
Nothing. I don't need a legacy. In the end everything is forgotten anyhow. And thats ok.
That was a powerful reminder of how my human mind can scurry about :) Thank you, for some reason reading this made me feel better. 😊 Have a wonderful day.
@AdultPuppy
For sure! I totally respect that. In a sense everyone will be forgotten as time goes on. It's definitely a realistic perspective and a lot of people have difficulty coming into terms with that! But I'm glad you're able to understand that perspective!
Thanks for sharing <3

I'd like to be remembered by my music, even if it isn't that good. I don't want to be remembered by my mistakes or my anger.
@diplomaticWest2790
That's a great way to be remembered for! I hope you're music can touch and be in the minds and hearts for people through generations as well! It's definitely hard to keep our negative emotions out, but I'm sure your positivity and inspiration will shine brighter!
Thanks for sharing <3
@sunnyWriting4806
I'd like to be remembered for my tenacity. Whenever life gets hard (and it does, somewhat regularly), I somehow never quite lose the fight and always come out on the other side. Either victorious, or having learned something about myself/situation.
@bestRaspberries1517
What a great trait to be remembered by! Tenacity is something so many people want and desire and for some it takes years to develop that! It's really admirable that you have that perspective and I'm sure it'll take you to amazing places throughout your life.
@sunnyWriting4806 hey =D
What is one trait or characteristic of yourself do you want to leave behind to the people around you?: accepting that everything is not black and white. like, for example, selfishness isn't all bad. it's okay to put yourself first sometimes, this is your life and you should live it in a way that's going to make your time on earth better. being selfish all the time is bad, but being selfless all the time is bad too. there's a happy medium.
What impression do you want to leave that defined who you are?: staying true to yourself. don't let anyone sway who you are to better fit their narrative of you. be who you are, no matter what other people want from you.
@f1nd3rzk33p3rz
A very authentic and genuine answer. Thank you for that! I totally agree with you. More and more things are being realized to be a spectrum these days and sometimes nothing's really good or bad, it's what is good and true to yourself.
@sunnyWriting4806 I never think about that, i don't think i wanna be remembered. Maybe it's just a part of my introversion.
@understandingBeechwood9999
That's totally valid! Perhaps some of us rather live a more quiet and reserved life and that's okay :) It's a unique and genuine way to go about it
@sunnyWriting4806 I want others to remember me for a famous case I won or a company I saved. I want to be a corporate lawyer, thus winning cases for companies and handling big mergers is something I would like to be remembered with as long as charity work. I would like to fund a school in an LEDC, as I believe that education is crucial for children!
@classicalmusiclover
Those are huge and great goals to live for! Love to see it! Hope you'll be able to see those realized one day. We're all rooting for you :)
For me, I want to be remembered as someone who would help someone in need. I want to be remembered as having a great sense of humor. I want people to remember me as the one that made them laugh when they were crying. I want to be remembered for my love of music and my love of singing...my love of animals. Being a good counselor and making a difference in people's lives.
@HippieChik1975
Those are great things to be remembered by. Glad we have people like you striving for kindness and compassion!
Thank you for sharing <3
