When I am gone I do not want to be remembered.

I never understood why people expect to be remembered after death. I don't expect people to put flowers on my grave or whatever, I don't expect people to talk about me after I am gone.<br><br>I am not saying that people will forget about me or anything like that, I just don't want those weird ceremonies that some people demand or expect. I just want to be cremated and thrown into the ocean or a lake or something. I would be perfectly happy if people just cremated my dead body and flushed it down the toilet. I don't really give a fuck.<br><br>I always lived for myself, and I have never expected anything from people. So I don't expect anybody to put flowers on my grave or to talk about me after I am gone. This, to me, makes sense.<br><br>I can't imagine anybody putting flowers on my grave because they will just rot anyway. And I don't want people to talk about me after I am gone, because there really is not anything to talk about. I lived for myself, and I have been doing what I wanted, and I have been living how I wanted. There is nothing more to talk about, and to be honest I do not want to burden people with my presence after I am gone.<br><br>I don't want anybody to talk about me, I don't want people to go to my grave. I am not a good person, I have not done anything good in my life. The only thing that I have done is to not burden people with my presence while still being present among them. I have never expected anything from people, and I have never asked for anything. I have not done anything wrong to people, I don't OWE anybody anything, but I also don't think that I deserve to be talked about after I am gone. I have not done anything to deserve to be remembered.
