Sometimes, as you get older, and let's hope you do get as old as possible, it feels as if the other former parts of your life are part of another life altogether. It's as if there are points in time when you walk through a door and enter another room that's more than a room. It's more than another chapter. It's a new life, and going back has been made impossible. You may even feel like a different person, like a new person. You remember the old you, but only as if looking at old pictures. You realize that you don't get to leave things behind because you're not back there at all. You're right here. The only thing you can leave is what people remember about you ... completely subjective. Your legacy. You have no control over it, and yet, it's the meaning of life ... the things people remember about who you are. They say your body replaces all its cells every 7 years. Maybe the things you remember are just files copied to the new memory cells, walking around in a new body full of new cells that just kind of remember the old ones. But the memories are time travelers, phasing through dimensions along with you. There in the blink of an eye. Thankfully, you have people who love you, people you come from, people who come from you, and those people take that love and bake your legacy into the waves of the universe.
