Date of Death
Written on 2nd August 2026

What if I knew I'd die next week?

Well... Maybe I'll try to top the next exam, talk with people I never did and try to do what I always wanted to.

What if I knew I'd die tomorrow?

Well... I probably would spend those moments with people I love.


But would I sleep well? Mostly not, considering it a waste of precious moments.


Perhaps that's why if I never knew when I'd die,

I'd sleep well in the night and well into the day,

Procrastinate that one thing I wanted to do,

Set the alarm and pack books for tomorrow.

And not worry about the end.

And I guess that's what gives life beauty - you never know when you'll go...
