There is a new trend on TikTok that has really gotten my attention lately. You hold a note in front of your face that says, “I’m slowly forgetting your face,” and then replace the note with things you want to be remembered by.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’ve seen these items be artwork, different albums or records, cameras, or even books. This concept is very interesting to me. I read somewhere that the first thing you forget about someone is their eyes; however, for me I forget their voice first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As you can see through my last two blogs (Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind Part 1&2) I am very curious about the lengths we go to forget people. Sometimes, however, we don’t mean or want to forget someone. It just happens.<\/p>\n
Anyways, this simple trend on TikTok got me thinking: What do I want to be remembered by? After a while of thinking, I found a few simple answers. My smile, music, movies, and my empathy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you even remotely know me, you know that I love to smile. I constantly love to have a silly look on my face, or a smile that is yes, crooked, but also unique to me. I used to hate my smile, but when I turned 14, I decided to embrace it. I still haven\u2019t fully accepted it, and I hide it in pictures, school badges, etc.; however, I\u2019m no longer afraid of letting it slip out during the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Music is a huge part of my life. It influences my mood, motivation, what I\u2019m wearing, my writing, and overall outlook on my day. I love music. If you take a look at my past blogs, they are mostly music based (or movie based but we will get there.) Some songs I\u2019d like to be remembered by are as follows: Let Light Be Light by Lizzy McAlpine, Could You Be Loved by Bob Marley and The Wailers, Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles, Vampire Empire by Adrianne Lenker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To me, movies are one of the most beautiful forms of art available. I don\u2019t think people understand the importance of movies. They educate, help cope, inspire, etc. Movies I’d like to be remembered by are as follows: Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Beautiful Boy, Thirteen, and Dead Poets Society. These all represent a part of me, whether that’s the past or the present.<\/p>\n
Lastly, my empathy is a big part of who I am. I feel like to be healed, to be human, is to have empathy. I feel so much all the time, and most of these feelings don’t truly belong to me. I pick up on how other people feel, and sometimes, I run from this. I love being genuinely happy (or sad) for my friends, or the people around me, but sometimes these feelings get so big that my feelings get so little. I feel like when I am empathetic, I tend to put people way to far before me; this doesn’t sound like a big problem, but it becomes one after a while. Even though empathy comes with problems, I still believe that I should be remembered by it, and never ever lose it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
