I was watching some Vsauce and one of his videos got me thinking (the video itself already covers this topic btw. I can't remember which video it was though). The basics of the idea was all about how companies (and others) would create pre - death obituaries about certain characters. When some of these get leaked (because of mistaken identities when others die or other mishaps), it ends up that the people who the obituaries are written for and see how they are remembered. A simple question resulted from that. How do you think you'll be remembered? Also, how would you like to be remembered by your peers and the world?

I'd really like to leave behind a story in my hometown or somewhere I live for a considerable amount of time, one of those stories that the local kids tell each other and nobody knows whether it's true. 'Did you hear about that guy who ko'd the priest, whilst wearing a kkk gown?' type thing.

Geevy Imma be dissapointed if you don't go down in history somehow.
I don't mind not leaving an impact right now, plenty of time to do that. _________________
That's what descendants are for. I hope to know my grandchildren, and that they will remember me to their grandchildren. I doubt anyone else will ever have heard of me after I'm gone.
On the other hand, I'm terribly ambitious, and I hope to have my name on a top ten list somewhere before I die.
All this talk about leaving this world behind us makes me upset. I know it's inevitable, and that's the part that terrifies me. Well, as much as I want to be remembered for achieving ambitions for my art, but I really want people to remember and talk about me. Even if it's just one person, I'd be happy. As much as I appreciate my introverted mannerisms and as much as I like to blabber on about staying away from people, I'm just human, who needs to be social to survive, whether I like it or not. _________________
I don't care what people think about me (or if they even think about me) when I'm dead, 'cause, well, I'm dead. I mean, it's not that I don't care about what will happen after my death, because I do, but I don't care about what will happen to me then.
