imprints
One of my posts (a while back) very simply described what I would call my ultimate goal in life..
..to leave an in-erasable, unforgettable imprint on this world.
I have (since that post) divulged my (not-so) secret goal to one of my good friends, Roxy, who, in her own right, basically said that I've already achieved my goal, that just by breathing.. existing.. living, I had left an in-erasable imprint on her world.
Whilst I'm very honoured, flattered and feeling very big-headed... I still don't quite agree with her statement.
I mean, of course I can appreciate and understand where she's coming from, but it honestly doesn't quite match what I had always imagined in my head..
By no means do I expect an award or anything of that sort (much less, that extravagant!) but I guess my standard and her standard of what constitutes an unforgettable feat, differ greatly; and thus, that feeling of satisfaction that one should get, when completing a life goal, was slightly undermined.
I don't know, perhaps I'm underestimating myself (in my ability to make an impact on other people's lives) or maybe overestimating my abilities (in terms of potentially achieving greatness in the future), in the end, I guess the only way for me to find out is to keep pursuing my dream..
.. and hope that in the end, that feeling of satisfaction, elation and contentedness is as good as I had, I mean have imagined it to be.
