I realise I'm asking for the impossible
But I'd really quite like to have a glimpse into the future and see how people would remember me after my death. Not in the form of some mawkish retrospective about a dead celebrity, obviously, but just how my surviving relatives, friends, colleagues, etc., would look back on my life. To be quite morbid about it, who would read my eulogy and what would they say?

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter - I will die and that will be the end of it. I will no longer be capable of worrying about people's perceptions of me, even if I wanted to. All the same, there is a strange, slightly sentimental part of me that still thinks whatever little footprint you may make on this godforsaken planet is your legacy. Whether that is some great achievement for the good of mankind, offspring who will go on to 'make you proud' if you'd been alive long enough to see it, or even just a handful of friends who will miss you when you're gone, it's your legacy. And I'd quite like mine to be a good one.

/vain, self-indulgent post is vain and self-indulgent.
