Thoughts on life

19.06.2025

Life is short, no matter how long it is. 

Everyone and everything has an end date. 

As more people I know leave this Earth I am amazed at how my brain is able to sift through the memories of them and pick out only what is best. I hope this is a universal experience for everyone, and not just my individual experience. 

This leads me to wonder; Will I be a good memory for others? Are there any good memories of me that their brain will project when I am no longer here? Will they be able to say anything good about me when I am gone? 

Of course these questions seem so centered on the image of the self, but I think it might be a good place to start when reflecting on the life we live. 

I know there are many people that I have wronged in this life, and I hope that I will be able to make it right during my remaining time here. I hope I can say sorry to everyone I have hurt intentionally or unintentionally. 

I hope and pray that I am given the chance to live a beautiful life from here onwards. I understand that it won't be easy and there might be parts where I will be the cause of unhappiness, but I will try my best to avoid causing unhappiness. I will try to be better. 

I felt an urgency tonight to write this all down tonight to serve as a reminder for myself to always be kind. To speak only what is best, and think only what is good. Because life is too short. At the end days, I hope it will only be good memories and a soft return to the Creator.
