Done and done, good sir.

My thoughts on passed loved ones always end up taking on the tinge of guilt as I am habitually bad at keeping in touch with people as much as I know I should. The full weight of my squandered opportunities to be with them, both to learn from them and to bring them happiness (if that doesn't sound too egotistical) becomes plainly apparent to me.

Not that I've managed to turn those thoughts into action in regards to those still here. Sigh.

As for my own legacy - I guess the best way I can put it is that I hope I'm remembered as someone who really wanted for nothing. Not that I don't have desires or goals, but those are just diversions to keep things interesting day-to-day. The attainment or lack of attainment of any of them have little to do with my overall satisfaction with life. As long as people remember me as content and fulfilled, I think I'm good.
