After I die

After I die, I want people to remember me.

After I die, I want people to remember me as a fighter. Someone who never gave up. After I die, I want people to remember me as a guy who had no regrets. After I die, I want people to remember me as a person who was warm. After I die, I want people to remember me as a human being who always stood by others. After I die, I want people to remember me for my passion. For my modesty. After I die, I want people to remember me for the knowledge I shared with them. After I die, I want people to remember me for always wanting to know more, for being unashamedly curious.

After I die, I want people to remember me as an ordinary man. But I don't want to go unnoticed, like the teeming millions...lying dead because there weren't any excuses to live.

P.S. It's gonna take a helluva lot of time for me to make all these things happen. Hell, it's much easier to just die and be forgotten. Like dead today and un-remembered from tomorrow. Yeah, that's better, much better. Easier. Less complicated. Less pompous. ;)

i am sure people will remember you for all the reasons you want to be remembered. cause i know you are a fighter, warm,you are always there for everyone around you, you are modest and passionate.i think you extraordinarily ordinary. it is the way you are that will be remembered.

you may not change the world but you will touch many lives. so you will not go unnoticed.

Keshi,
:) You will know me if you wish to! Look for me between the lines. :) Yes, I am passionate and they say sometimes, I feel a bit too much! ;) I call it being 'responsive' and it's about 'absorbing'. ;) I am in a kiddish mood today...have worked way too hard. Time to play! Catch u later.

Brood M - Of course ambitious - 'how dull it is to live, to rust unburnished'...some English poet with a long beard bearing the initials AHT said that! Thanks for visiting.
