Daily Prompt, Legacy

Daily writing prompt
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

Wow, this is a deep question! I suppose I’m not really focused on that, I’m more focused on my life now, rather than what people will think when I’m gone. I do worry about death in itself as I’m not religious, so I think we just cease to exist when we die, just like how we didn’t exist before we were born, since our brain will die, our consciousness will also die and cease to exist.

I do generally hope I’m wrong though as I’d love for something to be there after death as I’m terrified of not existing! And all what makes me, just vanishing, leaving behind a body, thats scary! Sometimes I see online about people saying they accept their own inventible death or they’re ready for it, usually if they’re doing a dangerous job but I’m like hell no! I’m not putting my life at risk and going to stay here as long as I possibly can and try and live my life to the fullest! However just because I’d love for there to be something after death, doesn’t mean I believe it, but yes I hope I’m wrong!

Now about my legacy, let’s stop getting sidetracked. I would hope that I would leave behind people who would remember me and I would leave behind my own mark online, where people will read my words and even if they don’t know who wrote them, the fact that perhaps they may think back to something I have written, once or twice in their life, well thats enough for me!

Or the main reason I started this travel blog would even more fantastic, would be inspiring someone to go to the locations I have been and walk the same steps as me. Even when I am dead and gone, they’ll have that memory of the holiday they were inspired to go on, because of this blog, so yes while I am still consider myself young now, I plan to continue this blog until I’m old and wrinkled, until I can no longer type! Unless I unfortunately die young which hopefully will not happen!

So yes, the memories of people who know me personally, hopefully they will smile when they think of me! And the memories of people who have read my words online, whether it be this blog or other online platforms and hopefully it makes them think, or inspired to go traveling, that is the true legacy I wish to leave behind!

  1. Yes there is life after death. If you don’t believe, it’s okay. Think of it when a baby is in its mother’s womb, it thinks it’s the whole world, but after being born there is a whole new world. So all of us will see a new world, which we with our human eyes can’t see.

    1. I would like to believe but unfortunately I usually have to have solid proof to believe something, I never really could take someone’s word for something unless there was solid proof.

      I wish there was proof that there is something after life but all I hear is peoples words and that is not enough for me to believe something. I do hope I am wrong though.
