I know exactly how I want my funeral to go. I want everyone to dress in bright colours. No black. It's gonna be a celebration. Like the biggest and best birthday party I've ever had. I want laughter, tears of joy, I want to bring family and friends together in my name. I want to be remembered with the fondest of memories, a tale that leaves a smile on all faces. I want a montage of my life.

I want to see my baby pictures.
My first day at kindergarten.
My graduation from kindergarten.
My young years in primary school.
My teenage years, doing crazy things.
I want pictures and videos of my graduation.
Me working at the store, doing what I do best.
I want to see me at university.
Meeting someone I would spend the rest of my life with.
I want a lot of pictures with my family, both now and in future when I have one of my own.
I want to be remembered as a good person, someone that touched lives, I want to be missed because I offered something that made an impact in their lives.

I also want everyone to bring something linked to fond memories of me.
It could be a necklace.
It could be Green Lantern comics.
An Xbox controller.
A guitar.
A pen and paper, or a book.
It could be that stupid black, grey and gold loom band I always wear.
Or my rings.
Anything that someone goes "I remember when he used to..."

It brings me to tears imagining people coming together, just to celebrate my life just this once. Not cuz I'm a self centred prick (although I am), but because I love the thought of a celebration with all the people I love and that love me being in one place. It's like the biggest, best birthday I will ever have. And that is why I want no black, no tears or crying. I want food, lots of my favourite dishes. I want my stories all over the place for everyone to read. I want to leave voice messages just for everyone to hear my voice if it means people will smile. I don't tell the people that I love how much I love them nearly enough, but the few times I have, I hope they remember it and see my sincerity through my sarcastic exterior.

I want to be there, floating through their midsts, hearing them talk and laugh, play music and just celebrate my life.

I have an idea of what I want to see them celebrate, I just gotta live that life first. And the rest should follow.
