👣Leaving small footprints 👣 [WEEK 154]

Last week I went to a recreational outing at the office where I work, a very quiet beach with zero waves, my partner and I spent hours talking about various topics, she told me about her family life and this question came up in the middle of the conversation, how would you like to be remembered? she told me that no matter how hard I try to be a good person, to help they are never happy, they always focus on the mistakes that surely when she dies they will realize that they will really miss me, I think she was frustrated.

While she was telling me her story in my mind it was like a movie of positive things in my life that surely left small footprints that impacted some people, for a moment I stopped the conversation and I told her tell me something good that you have done throughout your life for which you will be remembered, for a moment there was silence and then I listed several, I told her you saw you will always be remembered I believe no one goes through life without leaving positive or negative footprints.

We all want to leave footprints and be remembered for something or someone that at some point in life has made a difference, the final destiny will always come to us, some leave before and others take a little longer, but death is inevitable and what scares us most is to be forgotten and so we try to leave footprints, at times it goes through my head that I would like to be at my funeral to see how it impacts on the lives of people are just crazy thoughts that come to my mind because who has been to his funeral?

My sister sent me a message by WhatsApp that made me realize that I have not gone through life without leaving footprints and I know that this is how I will be remembered, maybe I will not impact the world, but people will remember me for my kindness and empathy towards others for being strong and a fighter that being alone I achieved many things and I was an example for many, I never imagined that these were my small footprints that I am leaving in my path and that this is how they will remember me and I would like to continue leaving footprints, I do not want them to imitate me but to be better, I have flaws but a kind heart and that at the end of my days they remember me as a great brave warrior who did not let life defeat her, this is how I would like them to remember me and that future generations do not follow my example but improve it.

Not everyone will remember me, but the people in which I made a difference in their lives will always have me in their thoughts, we are in this life of passage, let's leave beautiful footprints so they do not forget us, happy weekend.
