Live life
I HOPE THIS INSPIRES YOU TO PRESS ON!!!I LIVE BY THIS MOTTO: “I DON’T WANT TO BE FORGOTTEN”.
In life don’t just pass by or allow the ones you leave when you die to ever say you PASSED AWAY. Live to create a hunger in someone that will inspire them. Kindle one dying fire in your lifetime so you can live forever in their thoughts and hearts . So tales of you can be told to countless generations EVENTUALLY when you die people you will leave behind will say YOU LIVED .
