i’m terrified
because i know
one day i’ll die
not just my body
but my memory
everything that remains of me
one day i’ll truly die
nobody will whisper my name again
and i’ll become
irrelevant
insignificant
unimportant
someday, nobody will think of me ever again
all i was
all i wish i could be
all i will be
will mean nothing.

probably my biggest fear but it's ok bc it's inevitable and i'm coming to terms with knowing that nothing will change when i die.
