There are lots of things we inherit from our ancestors, whether we like it or not. Maybe you have your mother's eyes. Maybe you have your father's sense of humor. Maybe you have your grandmother's aversion to spinach. Maybe you have your great-great-great-grandfather's affinity for bananas, but you would never really know that would you? Some things are ambiguous that we inherit, and we may never fully know where we get each part of our personalities, and if anything we've ever done is original. This is the pain of being a human. We're made up of people and experiences, and we hope the whole is greater than the sum of those parts. 

So it's good to think about what you're leaving behind. Not only in terms of legacy- maybe you have children, maybe you have a business, maybe you've produced art that will outlive you. But maybe you can purposefully leave something that will really be of value to generations to come- memes.

  • Memes can be passed down like heirlooms. Some may be timeless, some may be relics of their time. Either way, they're worth preserving. They tell us more about our circumstances than newspapers do if you ask me. So here's a collection of them to get the ball rolling.
