Life as it is

Think about it

By Tan TanPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Sometimes, I wonder why people are the way they are. They chase everything, but in the face of death, they suddenly care less about their dreams and wealth. All they care about are the final moments. Only when facing death do they remember what's truly important in life. I catch myself thinking, if I die tomorrow, will I be happy with the life I've lived? I know dying is scary, but everyone will get there someday.Sometimes, thinking you're going to die tomorrow opens you to new perspectives. You worry less about small, bad things and appreciate the small things more, being more grateful for what you have. Life is short; enjoy it while you can. Your mistakes won't matter in the end; we are just a speck in the greater scheme of things. Do what you hate, love—just do it while you can.The things you said you're going to do, but it's been weeks and you still haven't done them—just do it. Hating your job and your boss but still living the same boring life, following the same routine you hate—that's insane. Life is too short to be doing things you hate. While you're wondering who I am, I'm just a kid wondering about life.
