but then I realised that their was more to it than that...

and that is,

Possible trigger:

the fear of being forgotten.

it's really hard for me to accept that when I die, the world will continue on without me- and I'll probably be forgotten about

I obviously have no family to remember me, so who?

and that's the main reason

I don't want to be a famous singer- or an author, or an inventor, I just want to do something that will get me remembered

something like.... oh, her?. didn't she win an award for such and such?

(winning an award would be like giving me gold)

but something small, small but memorable.

I'd like that

I also feel this way, but I am learning that, this is not important. The important thing would be to be happy for the rest of my days.
