What do you want to leave behind when you're gone?

What’s even the point of living if you don't leave anything behind?

What does that even have to do with anything? Some people leave plenty behind—kids, movies, books, scientific breakthroughs. Others leave absolutely nothing. The whole "meaning of life" thing is different for everyone. As for me, right now, my purpose is just eating strawberries with whipped cream and ice cream.🍿

Of course you have to leave a mark on this world. And once I finally pull it off, honestly? Just let them take me out
especially if it’s the people who hate free speech.

I guess I’d just have to deal with the whole Necrophilia thing after I'm gone... 😬 Necrophilia is going to be booming... 😁

Carl Rivera43 said:And once I finally pull it off, I wouldn't mind if they came for me... especially if it's those people who are so hell-bent on killing free speech.

This whole thing is just going to end in some kind of murder... it's basically a direct collision between freedom of speech and pure anarchy... arghhh!

It actually brings back this memory from way back in high school... We were all supposed to sit around and tell each other something honest, just opening up, you know? And one girl in my class looked right at me and said, "For you, there’s no such thing as censorship." 😬

Even those people into Necrophilia are still human beings. Honestly, if nobody wants me, then let them just take me. 🧐

Grace Edwards92 said:Even those obsessed with Necrophilia are still people. If I'm already dead, who cares if someone uses my body? 🧐

We should definitely include this in our wills: donate my organs after I pass, plus my body—or at least parts of it, lol—so they can be put to infinite use by necrophiles. It actually makes sense on several levels. There would be less demand for buying caskets. Less money draining the federal treasury. Plus, think about the environment. We wouldn't be cutting down trees just to make coffins. And plenty of other perks... 🙂

There are actually some practical benefits to this, too. We’d reduce the demand for caskets, which means less money flowing into state coffers. Plus, think about the environment; we wouldn't be cutting down trees just to make coffins. And plenty of other perks. 🙂

Exactly! And we could donate brains to those crazy scientists. Or to zombies, whoever we run into first. 🙂

I want to leave behind a much better world. A world where people actually get to pursue their passions, where things like clean water, nutritious food, and a decent place to live are treated as fundamental human rights, and where we've finally wiped out diseases and put an end to all wars.
Now, since I’ve apparently been crowned "Person of the Year" for saying all that, if I’m being totally honest, I wouldn't even want to leave behind my bones. I’d rather just be ashes—the kind that accidentally ends up in someone's batch of cookies because a vegan mistook them for whole wheat flour.
And, of course, I’ll also leave behind these wonderfully amateur musical tracks in my signature, which I'm sure will become massive hits once I pass on and everyone else starts getting rich off my royalties.

Nothing. I carry everything with me when I go, leaving absolutely nothing behind for anyone else on this earth. Is all this chaos and terror we endure really just so we can leave some little legacy behind in this world or any other? Not a chance. ☕

Raymond Walker5 said:And sure, I’ll just leave behind all these wonderful amateur musical tracks in my signature too. They’ll probably blow up once I’m gone, leaving everyone else to cash in on them.

Talk about a brilliant self-promotion tactic. After reading this, who wouldn't want to click?
Don't think about a pink elephant. Don't think about cake.
Btw. The songs 👍

Nicole Rodriguez22 said:That is some top-tier self-promotion right there. Honestly, after seeing this, who wouldn't be tempted to click?
Just don't go thinking about a pink elephant. Or a slice of cake.
By the way, what about those tracks by 👍

😬
I suppose some naive soul out there actually saw a musical Vincent van Gogh in me... though maybe that won't happen until I lop off an ear and kick the bucket.🤣

I just want to leave behind a positive memory for those who are still around and actually knew me. That’s really all there is to it.
If I could achieve that, it would be my greatest sense of fulfillment.
I tend to look at it this way: if I could somehow revisit the past and overhear people talking about what a good, reliable friend I was, I’d feel like my mission here on Earth was complete. That legacy is exactly what I’ve been striving for.

Grace Edwards92 said:There’s just a massive flood of trolling posts on this forum lately. And honestly? It’s not even just that. I’m actually thinking about setting up a gallery on my Facebook just to showcase all those selfies I took out near Orion, by the Tannhauser gates, and in other godforsaken backwoods. 🥳

Look, not everyone here is a troll. For instance, this one right here is actually making a valid point—even if it is incredibly depressing to read:

The organs... I believe most of them are still in decent shape... for the moment. Once they start to rot, they’ll just end up in the compost pile, but for now, it's important that I maintain an air of nobility. 🥱

Benjamin Taylor6 said:Not everyone is just trolling. For instance, this one actually hits home, even if it is pretty depressing:

Yeah. A person can pass away without us even having had a chance to settle our differences. 😢

That's why I'm telling you—you've gotta troll. Trolling is the only way to survive. 🧐

The body I have inhabited my entire life

It’s the exact same thing the previous posters left for me

Whenever I feel like my time is running out, I head down to the casino and put it all on black... haha
If I actually win, I just keep playing until everything is gone... haha

William Hall93 said:I find myself wondering what truly endures. Beyond physical possessions, I hope to leave behind a legacy of kindness and meaningful connections that continue to impact others long after I am gone.

Nothing at all.

I hope to have the opportunity to settle all my affairs and distribute everything before I pass away. 🙂

Would you like to be remembered by strangers for an achievement you've accomplished?
Would you prefer to pass away as an anonymous individual known only to your close friends and family?

Whether people remember me once I am gone is of no consequence to me.

That’s a fascinating question to pose.
Most likely, I’ll just leave behind a mountain of useless clutter—things that held immense sentimental value for me, but will mean absolutely nothing at all to whoever inherits them.

My dog.

I'm an animal lover.
