"Will anyone know I've lived? Or must I just become mush, dissolving away... with no one to remember me..." - Battle Angel Alita.
Something that I've been thinking about is... people I've known in my life, whether from school (primary, secondary, tafe, uni), internet, or those I previously hung around. Romantic and/or platonic, people who I've had interactions with whether fleeting or significant.
My point is, I think of these people in passing (or drawn out) and wonder if I am ever thought of? Or even remembered?
Do you people think of me besides when you come across my LJ entries on your friends pages?
I have a skill of being able to skim by unnoticed or cause conversation if I so choose - but that requires my presence. What happens when I'm not there? When there's no blatant trigger to remind you to recognise me, is there ever a chance I cross your minds?
I think of you guys. Want examples? There are no triggers, I can just be sitting around and these may cross my mind.
I remember
pointclickkill's domain of razorbladekiss.com, and wanting to be her friend.
I think of a letter
x0x0zombie sent me once that had a bunch on random items in the envelope, like a small American coin denomination, and a bangle.
I remember sending out christmas cards to
stealthalbino and
phsyke after procurring their addresses. And would love to do that again this year.
I miss talking to
mauie, I sent her a package once to show her she was loved.
I remember meeting up with
curioussquid at the city years ago, I told her she'd recognise me by my pink hair.
I remember dating
stragen and us setting up
itsonly_forever with
therealshaft.
I love
veeanca with everything. She's like my sister, and I wish we hung out more.
Those are my LJ plugs, let alone people I remember from TAFE, ex-boyfriends, friends I don't see any more... Am I thought of and remembered without prompting, like I do of them, of you?
