Hi! I chanced upon this comic by The Oatmeal, in collaboration with with @Asmallfiction last week. I thought it made a good follow up to my earlier post on treating others better. (You might need to display images to see it) At several points in my life I worried very much that I was easy to forget. I worried that close friends would drift away, or that I would not be included in a group. People often paid notice to those who were doing well. I wondered if I was not successful enough or not fun enough to be worth remembering. I still struggle with this, but I deal with it better as I think I have grown slightly wiser and learnt that there is nothing wrong with being forgotten. Better to be internally assured that I am doing right by myself, than to be concerned whether I was on the minds of others.
To live forever, be kind
To live forever, be kind
To live forever, be kind
