This is one of my biggest fears in life. I've worked hard to make sure that my legacy lives on after I'm gone. I've made videos, music, and I'm a bit of an artist. I'm 18 years old, and my dream is to make sure that my name is said for centuries to come. <br><br>I can't stand the thought of being completely forgotten about. I can't even imagine the feeling of having my family and friends die before me. I feel like my life would be meaningless if nobody remembered me. I don't think I would be able to get out of bed every morning. <br><br>What are some strategies for dealing with the fact that you'll eventually be forgotten? How do you handle the fact that the people you love will eventually die?
