"All in some was misinterpreted, misunderstood, gradually forgotten, and the memories of their lives altered to fit some more palatable version of reality."
- Janet Fitch, Paint it Black

Wouldn't it be sad to die like that? People remembering you as they want to, and not as you really were. Some for the worse, some for the better, but neither accurate nor true. It's a sad thought. But it is inevitable, I think, that most would want their thoughts of the dead to be positive ones, a kind of respect. I'd rather people remember me for who I really am, not some buffed up, shinier version on a pedestal.
