you are going to die that is a fact. you will cease to breathe you will become forgotten it is unlikely that any of us will leave a legacy
we think it's far away we have plenty of time left why worry? well, have you ever talked to a dying person? I mean someone who is literally on their death bed they are facing the end of their life they've always known that they are going to die but when it comes to actually dying they're terrified there's always too much left unsaid they weren't spontaneous enough or didn't do what they really wanted
they thought they had more time
so next time you aren't feeling brave or hesitate before doing something you wanna do just know death is imminent unavoidable nothing you do really matters that much in 1000 years no one will remember it so go for it.
laugh as much as possible. cry when you need to cry. forgive and forget. go get what you want. don't be embarrassed by anything. life is too ******* short to not be brave to hesitate to not take that big step or to even just say hi
for my uncle who passed too early, it reminded me to be mindful of the decisions I make and to live my life while I can. **
