If I Could Have Something Named After Me, It Would Be the Mountains

If I ever had the chance to have something named after me, I wouldn’t choose a street, a building, or even a star. I would choose a mountain. Mountains stand for years, towering over landscapes, weathering storms, and witnessing the passage of time. They remain, steady and unshaken, just like the kind of legacy I hope to leave behind.

Mountains are more than just landforms; they are symbols of endurance, strength, and timelessness. While cities evolve and technology changes, mountains remain, watching generations come and go. Their peaks reach towards the sky, their presence a quiet but powerful reminder that some things are built to last. To have my name etched into the world in such a way would mean that my existence had weight—that I, too, stood firm through life’s trials.

Beyond their symbolic value, mountains inspire adventure and discovery. People climb them, seek refuge in their silence, and find peace in their immensity. If a mountain bore my name, I’d want it to be a place where people found clarity, strength, and perspective—just as I strive to find in my own life. It would be a place where challenges are met with resilience, where every step upwards reminds travelers of their own endurance.

Unlike structures built by human hands, mountains are not easily erased. Their presence cannot be undone by time or neglect. That’s why I would choose them as my namesake. To be remembered, not just as a fleeting moment in history, but as something unmovable, unshakable, and enduring—that is a legacy worth leaving behind.

Until next time…
