TASK 4 – REMEMBER ME !!
One thing Lilo would certainly be remembered for is her weirdness. She’s not your average teenager, and she’s never been an average kid. Sewing her own dolls, listening to old music, rambling about conspiracies, tacking snapshots of shirtless strangers on her wall, using voodoo to ‘punish’ her ‘friends’ --- it’s safe to say that no one could ever forget about her quirkiness... as hard as they may try.
Elvis is a given. With the amount of records that are stacked in her room, the amount of times she brings him up in conversations (that aren’t relevant to him at all) and the amount of inspiration she draws from him, anyone that knew her even briefly would think of ‘the king of rock and roll’ when her name was mentioned.
The third thing someone would remember would be her passion of surfing, or further than that, her adoration of the ocean. She spends most of her spare time in the waves or daydreaming of them. There’s a peacefulness about it, and no matter the beach, no matter how happy she is with her room and her family, it’s the one place that she truly feels like she’s home. If she could grow fins, there’s a high chance she’d throw away her human life to live among the fish.
Another passion of hers to be remembered for: photography. Though her photo subjects aren’t what most people would call beautiful, she’s always carrying her camera around with her, and if you think of Lilo, it’s hard not to think of her snapping photos of everything she deems worthy... which could really be anything.
Possibly the main, and most important, thing that people would think associate Lilo with would be love. It runs through her veins. She can be violent, harsh, rude and judgmental, but never does her caring nature disappear. Underneath everything else, she loves. Fiercely. She loves the beach and music and shaved ice. She loves animals and children. She even loves humanity. She loves the kids that have tormented her. She understands they’re likely coming from a place of pain and more than wanting to punch them square in the nose, she desperately wants to wrap her arms around them and help them to realize how much better life would be if they lived it in a state of love rather than hate. It is definitely a choice to love. And Lilo Pelekai will always choose love.
