Every person lives a unique life. We interact with a unique blend of people and develop unique thoughts and ideals. And every single one of them changes us.
All the people I have ever met have made an impact on me unlike any other, and in turn, I have done the same for them. From my best friends to a brief, one-time interaction, I am a reflection of countless moments made flesh.
Many seek to leave a legacy, and that means something different for every person. For me, it is this change I have created in those around me. When I die, they will be left with their memories of me and the ways that I affected them, and that is enough for me to live on. Even long after I’m forgotten, the impact I had on other people will create a ripple through mankind, and I will live again.
