Okay, this is more of a confession than a rant. Whatever. So, I've realized that I'm not afraid of mjuch. There is one thing I'm honestly afraid of though. I'm terrified of being forgotten.

       This fear is really weird, to be honest. I realized that everyone forgets. I'm afraid of not being remembered. I'm afraid of being an author and then ending up with nothing for people to remember me by. I want to be like Chaucer and Shakespeare. I want to be well known. I want people to remember me. The fear doesn't stop there though.

        I think a lot and I thought one day that humans aren't going to be on this planet forever. We'll go extinct. The problem is that there will be nobody to remember the human race. We will be forgotten with all of time and evverything any of us have worked for will go to waste. Nobody will remember Van Gogh or Johnny Depp or Einstein or Mary Shelley. We will be a lost culture. We will be nothing.
