Legacy of a Fashionista.

My legacy cannot ever be defined until I'm gone.
Thought 1: Being in the major of fashion design I'm really intimidated because the fashion world is a cruel place. You need to get your name to come out of the mouths of wanting customers, but it's a tough road to that goal. Being so intimidated by what my future holds simply makes me strive to be even more determined and more unique in my designs. I am an 18 year old girl with a head full of ideas and thoughts that are individual and different from anyone else's.
Thought 2: I believe that everyone leaves behind some sort of legacy. That legacy might be that of a famous basketball player for the Miami Heat, or maybe you're a crazy scientist like Albert Einstein, or maybe you desinged the wedding dress of Carrie Underwood, or maybe you touched hearts through music like Aretha Franklin. Whatever your contribution is to the world at large you're leaving behind a memory of yourself so that after you are dead and gone you are remembered. Maybe you won't be remembered forever but someone somewhere will know of your legacy.
Thought 3 and 4: Pertaining to my legacy I think I will leave behind a designer's leagacy. I will leave all my wedding dresses, cocktail dresses, ruffled blouses, flared floral skirts, the original t-shirt with a touch of class, and any other design I might think up. Historical legacy? Not quite. I will never be known as General Tasse of the Armed Forces; I'll never defeat Lord Voldemort; I will never find the cure for cancer. I won't be historically known per se but I will have my place in history. Everything anyone does is history right? History is the branch of knowledge dealing with past events according to dictionary.com. So to answer my question, yes. History is everything anyone does at any given time. If it's in the past it's history. I am history now, and I always will be. So in a way I am leaving behind a historical leagcy.
Think about it.
