To Be Remembered
It's human to wish to be remembered.
In my 16 years of existence, I tried to be the person who will make you thank God for knowing. As my seventeenth comes, I will continue trying to be the person you will remember. I will do you favors, sometimes big, when I can.
No, I'm not trying to be an angel or a saint. Or your heroine. I'm not going to die for you. I'm not going to do your homework nor your chores. I'm not going to give you money. I'm not going to feed you. I'm not going to suffer for you. I'm trying to be a friend, or perhaps a stranger to some, who has done something.
That thing may be big or small, though for the most part, I have done only little things. Still, I want to be remembered. I feel glad when a friend happens to take my advice and tells me that she was happy of the result. I feel happy when my friends tell me "You're right" after I scold them. Or amid the busy, stressful peak hours when people are hurrying, a stranger tells you how sweet you smile. I want to touch people's hearts, even just for a while.
I guess it's human to wish to be remembered. Who among us wants to be forgotten? Who among us would do such a foolish thing - wish to be erased from someone's memory? We all want to be remembered, right? It's difficult to do things you're not accustomed to do. It's difficult to do things you really do not want to do in the first place - be forgotten.If I could, I would make you remember me for the rest of your life.

To touch a life. I know, I know.
Don't worry. There's one person who will surely remember you forever--me.
Aww..you won't wish that your memory of me be erased from yours? I'll never forget you either. :)
Why would I wish that?
Unless Alzheimer's or Amnesia finds its way to me, I'll never forget you. :)
@Joyce Yes, why would you? I love you, Joyce. :)
@Effie *HUG* Thanks for the NIGHT. I love you, Effie. :)
