Death hasn't crossed my
mind at all throughout all 16 years of my life and I really do not plan on
thinking about it later in the future; Life is something to enjoy, and death is
not a fun fact about life. Grave stones
are some things that I haven’t thought about at all, they are actually quite
important after death because they distinguish who you are, like your teeth and
you DNA. Usually basic information of that dead person is written on the
gravestone, like their name, birth and death, the main sources for knowing who
is in the specific grave.
When I die, I would
probably put down my name, birthday, death and a little quote to go with it. I do not plan on having a god awful gray concrete gravestone, I might actually
ask someone to make it purple or something. On the purple grave stone, where my
dead body lays below, the first thing that would be on there would most likely
be R.I.P; the abbreviation is really quite depressing so I plan on making them
rainbow colored because that would at least make it a little happier. The second
thing that would most likely be written is my name, my birthday and then my
death; it’s pretty weird thinking about it, “Here Lies Hatsuko Bearden, may she
rest in peace,” gosh that is depressing.
The last thing that I would
write on my gravestone is a quote that my teacher and I have somewhat made up
for each other. The quote is “What is wrong with being weird?” the significance
of the quote is actually very special to me because my teacher always says this
to me and I view him as a father figure. I mean, what is wrong with being
weird? Wouldn't it be weird if you weren't weird? Being weird makes someone
unique in their own way and that is actually something good; I am unique in my
own special way, so please do not criticize me.
I am someone with a cheery
and happy-go-lucky attitude, where I plan on making people happy rather than
sad. Death is not a happy thing, so writing this simple and stupid quote would
in fact make my death a little happier. This is a really awkward prompt because
it’s pretty weird to talk about what you would want to put on your gravestone;
I plan on living for a long time and maybe die around 90 from natural causes. I
really do not want to have a big funeral where everyone is crying, I would
rather have some sort of memorial service for me where picture and really funny
videos are played, because like I said death is not fun, so having this idea is
a much more ‘funner’ idea (I know funner is not a real word, it’s just my weird
sense of grammar.)
Grave stones are definitely
important for someone who will or has died; it’s like a name tag for the dead. Don’t
think too hard about what you want to write on your gravestone, you have plenty
of time to do that in the future. I you don’t have the time to write one because
of early death, let one of your best friends write it for you; maybe my teacher
would do that for me when I die. My parents might have some good ideas to write,
gosh knows what they would put, they created me and I am immensely weird, so,
they’d have the same way of thinking I do… Soooo, that’s all I want to say
about my gravestone.
