If you've ever found yourself in a situation where your mind speaks more than your mouth, you will understand.
Unfortunately, I have found myself in many situations. Not just one which I believe happens because I spend lots of time with myself. I have a plan, my mind creates the scenario, and I act it out in my mind but never out. Not that I didn't want to but because I thought I did since I already acted it out in my mind, my mind has cleaned it off. But, I don't want to be remembered like that.
I don't want to be remembered as someone who said "I will do it" and ended up not doing it regardless of the unforeseen circumstances life may have brought forward which in my case happens.
I may have said to someone;
"I will call in an hour" and ended up not doing it and it pains me. Not because I didn't want to but because I thought I did. The spirit of forgetfulness or should I say I have lots of things running in my mind at the same time that I barely have enough time to act out instead of acting in my mind. But that is no excuse which is why I chose the phrase;
"Let the action lead, don't forget."
This is to remind me never to make promises I can't keep as there is no memory I want people to hold when my name pops up wherever they find themselves. And this is why I have taken this as a solution to my problem. I know, you'd think the alarm will work, right? Surely it does in some cases if I even remember to set the alarm. Lol.
I believe I need to breathe and not take many things at a time like I used to. My mind right now isn't up for the tedious task. It wants to rest which I will allow it to because of what I aim toward.
Other than being remembered for sticking to what I say, I want to be remembered as someone who was there. You know the kind of person many will say;
"She was there for me when I had no one or thought I had lost it all"
And this, I am sure I have been doing. I have lost count of the people I have been there for, some who gave back the energy and others who didn't. And I have been happy doing it. It gladdens my heart when I hear such comments about me.
In addition, I want to also be remembered as someone who made people smile especially in their darkest hours. The kind of person who makes the room silent when she speaks and erupts in laughter after she has. That's something I want to be remembered for as happiness they say; "Is free". I want to be that free soul who gives happiness to people. A helping hand to people. Piece giver just like the waves of the sea does. A light bearer and someone who adds positively to people's life.
My dream and reality are to be remembered with these personalities.
