Legacy

At every endeavour, I try to leave good content behind me. I know that it seems as if our work is left behind in an indistinguishable space of knowledge, but my experience has been the opposite of that idea.

When I go back and look at my content, I note how busy my past works have been without my presence; I've watched as each post brings in people from around the world searching for something that pertains to the work I've done. I purposely left my landmark blog, MissNikkiAnn's House, in limbo for two years, paying it no mind. Upon my return, I found it thriving on its own. Viewers were coming from around the world in search of any- and everything. That space became it's own entity, I'd merely become one of those viewers, searching for something. I even feel a disconnect from the content, knowing that the old me, a first-time mom at the age of 30, no longer exists. My son is no longer an infant, and at current age of 13, he stands taller than me at 5'6" (I'm 43 this year and stand at 5'5"). I chuckle to myself when I read "her" posts, thinking: "She doesn't know shit!"

My last living uncle's funeral is tomorrow. I feel sad. But I wonder what I'll feel another 13 years from now. I'm sure I'll look back at all our writings on Steemit and think:.

"They didn't know shit!"

We're creating a legacy together. A common goal, unlike my personal landmark blog. The outcome will be just as unique as it's creators.
