At night, when I fight to sleep, I have a vision I come back to. A vision of calm and peace. In this vision, I am on a boat and completely alone. I hear nothing but the crashing waves and my own breath. I see nothing but the clouds and the everlasting waters around. Here, nothing matters. Here, I am free. If I died today, I would want that to be my final memory. When I struggle to remember why I live, I have a memory I come back to. A memory of comfort and happiness. In this memory, I run into a room crying. She sees me and without asking what is wrong, I am embraced. It doesn't matter why I cry or what words we spoke. Here, she's my comfort. Here, I am happy. If I died today, I would want that to be my final moment. I see the importance of calm, peace, comfort, and happiness. Where I used to seek excitement, I now seek tranquility. Where I used to wish for more, I seek for more time with what I have. I have realized my time and everyone else's is limited. I can't promise myself that I will die content, Because the truth is, I probably will not. But, I now do my best to find comfort in the uncomfortable. So, if uncomfortable is my last moment here, I can die in peace.

If I Died Today
