A handful of people may remember you. But as people leave the site and others join the site, you are nothing more than an ex nation amongst a world that's moved on.

Alright, it just seemed that some were sometimes brought up even though they hadn't been here a long time. But I get your point.

Yeah, you're right. A lot of my life for the past few years has been dedicated to my career. I'm getting where I need to be, but I wish it would happen quicker, so my priorities can focus on other aspects of my life.

Reality check; a few hundred years from now, most of us are never going to be remembered. We'll be records in a computer, writing on a gravestone, words in an archive. A lucky few of us will find some way of contributing and be remembered, but most of us will be long-forgotten.

As Ethy said, life's too short, and it's certainly too short to give a damn about how popular you are. All the popular kids I knew at school who everyone looked up to threw their lives away for popularity. Popularity is fleeting, and misleading. It makes us feel like we belong, or that we're worth something, but true worth comes from finding our own worth. Not by the worth determined by others.
