My absence won't matter after 21 days or maybe a year. Then, they all will move on with their lives and I'll gradually cease to exist from their active memories until my death anniversary.
This does seem harsh a little on first read, but it's true. It's alright because even a part of me would want them to move on and live happily. Maybe it's a little narcissistic of me to think that they should miss me horribly every waking moment of their lives as if I have had a big part to play in it. It's nothing like that. Most of them are concerned about filling their own stomachs and sleeping at night.
People generally are more interested in sharing how they are feeling or anything that affects them than knowing more about you. It hurts a little sometimes, but it's alright, that makes them human. I guess it's again narcissistic to think that they should ask me how I'm feeling. People do battle 10k problems of their own almost every day, why should they ask anyway?
Anyhoo... Even if they do miss me horribly, they will be relatively at ease on the 22nd day. They will figure out an alternative to my presence. So, it should be okay, I guess, not to worry too much about how my absence would really hurt them.
Makes sense, no?
