it took me years to understand something that someone said to me. they told me that the world does not know you as you know yourself. the world does not see you as you see yourself. they don't know what you're thinking or what your motives are. they don't know where you've been or where you intend to go. they do not see your heart of hearts. this is profoundly true. i didn't realize just how true until recent years. i was thinking about these statements today and how it effects people without them realizing it. while i was thinking about it, my thoughts began to drift toward people that have passed away that i have known. i vaguely remember bits and pieces of their obituaries and how they never quite matched how i remembered them. then i began to think about how people would like to be remembered when they leave this earth. not necessarily in an obituary, but remembered by the people they knew and the people that they came in contact with.
