How about you die, like right now?
I almost did.
I'm sorry, it's stupid to ask but what if?
Ever thought, what if just didn't make it through today?
Like..
You had a great night and clicked a lot of pictures with your friends and family but then you just met an accident.
And you died.
That'll be it, right?
'Forever' would stop FOREVER for you.
You would want to try coming back to life as your soul leaves your body and you try all you can to come back to life.
You'll be helpless.
And let's say you're even carrying any ID on you and of course your phone is password protected and nobody can access it and your family is waiting for you back home for dinner.
Your mom cooked your favourite dish or your girlfriend is waiting with a surprise or you have an important presentation the next morning for which you've been working all month long..
But;
What happens 10 minutes later your death won't matter to you anymore.
You're dead.
What matters is the last 3 seconds before you die.
I am talking to you about it because I just faced that.
I came home surviving the worst nightmare and it was a moment of the most brutal truth.
You know how they say that your whole life flashes before your eyes at a near death experience?
It doesn't. You don't see everything. Just the things you love, sort of!
The car that hit mine was more than 80km/h and ours was 30km/h or something and yet I saw the car come in almost slow motion.
It was happening in front of me.
I saw it when it hit me, but as the fates had it planned, I was fine but I didn't know that.
And those 3 seconds or so that I thought I have got made me think a thousand things at the same time.
I'm not who I want to be.
I'm not where I want to be.
My parents, who will tell them?
What's going to happen now!!
There's so so much I haven't done yet and so many people I have to meet.
The whole rush of all my friends faces and families faces rushed in my head and I couldn't do anything about it!
I knew I didn't want to die but I had no choice.
I was sure I'm dead.
And it gave me this thought too, which is the reason I'm writing this to you all people.
It's insanely true how any day could your last.
You may have plans for the weekend and you may not even see the weekday.
You may think how cool it'd be to put your life out of misery and be dead instead.
Oh, believe me..it's the stupidest thought you'll realise when it happens to you unplanned.
I wasn't satisfied with my life so far.
You know how they say if you'll be content when you die, you will accept death happily.
Hell no!
Life is so short we seriously have no idea.
As I write this, the sun has dawned upon us and the dates have changed.
Last night is just a memory to me, but had I not been lucky, it would have been the end of it.
There wouldn't have been this morning for me.
Just the last pictures.
The last words with people and some memories to live in.
Folks,
I won't tell you to live your day satisfying your needs to die peacefully.. that's crazy!
But boy, I will tell you this.
We'll never be satisfied but if we ever get to live each day with everything we can grab from those 24 hours..
Hell, it'll be the best thing ever.
Life is too short to be depressed, hold grudges, get angry, or stay jealous of people.
When you die, these things make no sense all.
You'll just be a body.
A dead body.
No feelings.
No emotions.
And no sense of what you missed behind in this amazing life.
Smile.
Love.
For in the end, that's all that matters.
Oh, and yeah;
Stay alive.
I almost did.
