Your Life's Story

My realization.

A friend of mine was diagnosed with terminal cancer two years ago. My brain naturally ignored this fact and i went on with my life. A few days ago i spoke to her. She informed me that she only had months to live and I completely broke down. It took that moment for me to realize how important life truly is. I saw into my own past and future and wasn't too happy with myself. I realized one important thing, I never want to be forgotten. I want to be remembered by the people around me for who I truly am and not who I was at a low point in my life. I realize now that many people may feel this way. So here I am now.

I know i am a complete stranger to all of you, but maybe that makes this better. I would like to give you the opportunity to tell your story to a random person. And I promise that I will never forget what you tell me. I want everyone to know that someone in this world will know who you really are and will never forget the person you are or will be. 

So post it here or message me and tell me your story. Because no one should ever feel like they will be forgotten in this life.

This is heartfelt and very well written. Mortality becomes far more than a word when we look it in the face, as you did with your friend. I don't know about writing our own personal stories down, as I've been doing that for years in the short stories I write. Absolutely, I agree that no one should ever be forgotten.
