Maybe now you are having a lot of good friend, and I am just one of them.
We may be meeting up every 2 or 3 month and when people ask, we'll say we're best of friends.
We say that every time we introduce a good friend of ours.
--
But what if tomorrow I pass away, to an accident; from a murder; for a crime I've committed?
I'll become the story of your life.
Yours, yours, and yours.
I'll leave a mark;
I'll suddenly become more important.
More significant.
Because I leave a story for you to tell.
A life story of yours...
--
If you really want your friends to remember you,
die.
That'll create a greater impact than however more memories you're gonna weave in future.
Why are we not dying then?
Because every single one of us are selfish.
Don't boast or even talk about how much you love your friends.
Don't lie and give the excuse that you don't wanna leave them because you don't want them to cry or even feel sad.
Truth is, you don't wanna leave this world ahead of them;
we all wanna outlive each other,
because only the fittest survives,
and because we hate to be the one being left alone while the others stayed together.
The weird part of friendship is,
the greatest memories and strongest emotions are always short-lived.
--
Like artist, you become a legacy when you die during your peak:
Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe, whoever.
what great examples.
perhaps we don't have to die, maybe,
we just have to leave when the time is right; or rather, wrong.
