Do you ever think about how people will remember you? I’m not talking about what people think of you after you have passed; I’m talking about what people think of you after they met you for the first time. Will they have a lasting impression or will you fade from their memory? The choice is yours.

I think back to all the people I have met in my life and can remember people I’ve never had conversations with, simply because they had a heartwarming smile. On the other hand, I remember people who looked as friendly as an alligator, with their permanent scowl on their face.

I know I don’t always look inviting. I have resting beach* face, yes it does get annoying. Sometimes I have an attitude and act like a sassy spoiled child, but who doesn’t every so often? I don’t try to act that way, it just happens. For the most part I try to be the person people will remember, in a good way.

I want people to remember me as the person who would help them with any problems they have. I want to be the helping hand they always need, even if I just met them.I don’t care if it’s boyfriend problems, family troubles, or just stressed, vent to me, tell me what’s wrong so you can feel better.

I want to be remembered as the person who’s friendly to strangers. I won’t be a beach* to you if you don’t give me a reason to. Just because someone gives me their impression of a person doesn’t mean I agree with it. I won’t make judgements on you just because someone says you stole their cookie once in 4

I want to be the person who people remember. I want people to think back to me and have a great memory of. I don’t want to be forgotten by people; my wish is that someone remembers how kind I was to them and starts acting that way to other people. I want to be the change people see in the world.

So if you know me, remember me. Remember me for who I was/am/is. Remember how I treated you and how I made you feel. Think of our memories, keep me in your thoughts. Maybe I’ll be the change you see in yourself.
