Ever since I was I kid, I dreaded the thought of dying. I can't count the number of times I wish I could live forever, to be immortal. I guess I was always afraid of the pain, afraid of disappearing, and most of all I was afraid of being forgotten. I was so afraid, that at one point I stopped living and started obsessing about how to reach the unreachable...
But now I no longer wish for immortality. I no longer fear death. I no longer wish I could live forever. Because here's the thing. It's because we are mortal that everything we do is so special. It's because we're never going to be here again, that makes moments so filled with joy and fulfillment. It's because everyone is going to be forgotten and none of our actions can be taken back, we know that life is simply beautiful...
The catch is that, once we know all that, once we know that every single moment is prescious, that all our mistakes, all our accomplishments, all our failures are never going to happen again, we acknowledge that this is it, that this is all we get. One chance. One shot. So lets face our mortality and make sure we enjoy it while it lasts...
