LEGACY

(leg-a-see)

anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor

In today’s society, we are all striving to leave behind some sort of a legacy, memory, there is an underlying push to leave something important behind. When creating this website, I collected research from friends, family and strangers who all paused after I asked the question, ‘What do you want your legacy to be? How do you want to be remembered?” Some answered right away, others took their time to get back to me. Even myself, when I think about it, sometimes my answer changes. We all search for meaning towards our existence, a reason for being here and none of us want to leave this world without feeling as though we’ve accomplished nothing. In modern times, I noticed that only certain people, like big stars get to leave behind a legacy, my goal with this website, which will eventually be a book, is to change that. I feel that everyone should be remembered, you me, our neighbors, the clerks at the grocery store, our pets, we all deserve to be remembered in the way that we choose. As humans we deserve to be remembered not by our mistakes, our failures or our faults but by the impact that we feel we have made on this world and our loved ones.
