I’m not afraid of dying.
It’s not that I’m brave or made of stone—it’s that something else scares me far more.
I’m afraid you’ll forget I lived.
Death itself doesn’t haunt me; I’ve made peace with the fact that every flame eventually goes out.
What does haunt me is the thought of disappearing without a trace, of being erased from the world as if I never existed.
They say the ancient Egyptians believed we die twice: once when our heart stops beating, and again when our name is spoken for the last time.
It’s that second death that makes my stomach drop.
I don’t fear the darkness of the end; I fear the idea that no one will remember the light I tried to shine.
I’ve tasted the edges of oblivion, and it’s not the nothingness that terrifies me—it’s the possibility of never having mattered, of all my moments dissolving like tears in the rain because no one carries them forward.
I remember the first time I felt myself fading.
Not dying, exactly, but slipping into the shadows of memory.
I survived that somehow—I came back.
But I didn’t come back whole.
I returned with a lingering ache, a phantom pain where those lost moments should have been.
Even now, I sometimes wake up breathless, scrambling to grasp any proof that I was real the day before. I look for a note, a keepsake, a gentle reminder from someone who knew me—something to say, “You were here. You were you. You mattered.”
Without those little anchors, I could start to believe I’d only imagined my life, like a dream that evaporates at dawn. That fear still lives in me like an old wound: closed, but tender to the touch.
I don’t need forever.
I’m not asking for immortality or endless second chances.
I know nothing living can go on and on.
Roses wither; stars burn out; even the brightest stories have an ending.
I don’t need to be an exception.
In truth, I’ve learned to accept that fragility.
Mortality isn’t a curse—it’s what makes each moment sacred.
When you know something won’t last, you hold it closer; you pour your love into it.
I don’t want to cheat death or outsmart it.
All I want is to leave something meaningful behind in the short time I do have. A word, a touch, a change in someone’s life—some sign that I was here at all.
I just want to be remembered right.
Not as a ghost or a flicker that people aren’t even sure they really saw. Not as a distorted story or a misread footnote.
I want to be remembered truly.
Remember me as I am—both the good and the flawed.
Remember the laughter I shared, the way I tried to understand and love, the small victories and quiet kindnesses.
Let the echo of who I was ring out clear and honest in your mind.
If you remember me, then in a small way, I’m still here—alive and known in your heart.
