Grave goods...

I guess I'm a bit late on this topic, but I decided to write about it anyway. It's always good to plan ahead of time right?
Things I want to bring with after I die, let me see...lip balm is definitely on the list. My lips get dry easily, and I heard it's not exactly moist down there or up there (haven't decided where I wanna go, guess it's not my call anyway).


Another thing I want to bring into the grave is a bike. A car is way to big to bury and motorbike is not particularly environment friendly, but I do need to get around very often, bike seems like a good option. And it has to be purple.


There are also some meaningful stuff I received as gifts in life that I also want to carry to the other side of the world: a necklace from my parents(they gave it to me after they ditched me on valentine's day when I was 16 and single), a sisterhood bracelet that me and my cusine both have, and all the letters and cards I have ever received.


These are all the things on my list so far, I'm pretty sure it will expand over the next couple of decades. Grave goods can always help to identify individual identities, they speak for you, they tell part of the stories of people's lives. Although the list does get longer, the most valuable things I will bring but the later generations won't see are all the love and experiences I have, and these are what make me truly who I am.

  1. I LOVE that you want to bring a bike! That is epic Yiran. What would your family say if you asked to be buried with a bike. definitely unique. :)
