This is all true, but only a few people will be remembered from the past couple hundred years while the rest will be forgotten, and that’s the way it’ll always be. For me, I can only easily name around 30 people from before the year 1000, and those are some of the most famous ever. So unless you do something to leave a huge mark on the world, you can expect to be completely forgotten in around 200 years.

It’s kind of hard to remember people you’ve never meant. The oldest people alive may only remember a few people born in the mid 1800s, if that. Nobody personally knew anyone from before that and they’ll be forgotten if they weren’t written down in history.

A good acceptance is just being happy and remembering the memories you’ve made. Like, being happy you got to play an extra 2-4 years while some people’s careers end at High School. Or, perhaps join small leagues in your free time so your career doesn’t have to end
