: : You see, in life you got to do things to set yourself apart from your peers. You need to identify the qualities that separate you from those around you, after all isn’t that what most people spend their lives trying to accomplish? Wouldn’t we all want somebody somewhere later on down to remember the things that were different about us? Don’t you understand, the more you fit in the less you’re noticed? That’s how it is. For anyone to walk through life unnoticed, as if they never mattered, can be a punishment worse than death, and at the same time that punishment is the only way you can truly be free. Free from the things you want people to remember about you, but also free from the things you want them to forget. As time goes on, we will always be loved by some and hated by others. And whether or not the people who talk bad about you know it or not, they really save you from obscurity every time they mention your name. You see, anytime anybody talks about you, either directly or indirectly, they put money in your immortal meter. They keep you alive, whether they want to or not, they practically do they opposite of what they wanted to, which is forget you. I dedicate this to the day they finally figure it out, to the day that you bury me and erase the memory of me. Here lies a man who became forgotten to the world in his search for the key to immortality, he never made an impact, he changed nothing, and his words meant nothing. He contributed nothing to the world. He never gave you anything to talk about. He never existed. And he never made a difference. His name was nobody!
