And you know how you're supposed to tell your kids how you want to be buried and s--- before you die, because then they end up cremating you, which was the exact opposite of what you wanted?
Anyway, so yeah. I know I'm still pretty young, but I've thought about it many times. And for now, I think I want to be buried in Atotonilco.
I mean, I wouldn't mind being buried in the USA, in fact that's what I planned when I was little, when I was very sick. But if it was a choice now, I want it to be in Mexico. If it can't be Atotonilco, then San Juan Del Rio.
The reason is that because here.. Death is just "They died, let's forget them so we won't carry the burden". The cemeteries are just utterly depressing, and though that's pretty much the idea, it's just way too depressing.. It's all grey and everything. >.>' It's just a whole bunch of slabs of rock on the ground.
But over there in my homeland.. It's less depressing. There are much bigger memorials for normal people. They have flowers placed on the graves every year, on Day of the Dead. It's not like you were ever forgotten, because everyone in the rancho you were born in usually comes and places flowers on that day, even though they hardly knew you.
I really don't know.. I've always had this fear of being forgotten about when I die. I just feel that people will remember my presence if I'm buried where I was born.. -
Reminds me of where my great grandma was buried. Beautiful flowers were all around. People had place little accessaries and decorations on some of them. My cousin and I put little angels on my grandma's...

That sounds beautiful. ;-; That's exactly how it is in my rancho. Exactly..

It was perfect riming too. Sunset. There were tiny hills in the horizon.

Sunset always makes things very pretty.
And with hills.. -
When does one actually leave the Earth?
It's not when they die
it's when they're forgotten in the hearts of people. Given the impact you left in a measly year on a stupid quiz website, you're going to leave your name in the world somehow and you will be far from forgotten once you die. -
.. What Tingy said.

I agree with Tingy.
Yeah, that sounds really lovely actually. .3. I actually live next to a cemetery, hidden within trees and almost forgotten. It's sad really.
I personally wouldn't mind being cremated and my ashes just thrown around someplace I really loved. (Psh, maybe I'd flutter into drinking water and someone'll injest me. >:D) *bricks creepy moment* -
you wont ever be forgotten vegekaka

That's beatiful, what all of you said :3
Honestly, I love cemeteries. I find it a source of history and, well...love. People loved you enough to honour your presence by a tombstone, by burying you. I cry when I see the tombstone of a child, though. Always.
The thing is, death probably isn't the end...maybe it's the beginning. I try to change my thinking: when people die, I try to to smile. Instead of wasting time mourning their loss, take some time to just think of what they might be doing.
Forgotten, Alice? Impossible: and you know it. :) -
I'm the same way Nikki, hehe. ^^
