How SCJR Would End

"Live like you're dying."
By: SCJR


If I were to have a maximum of 24 hours to live, no more and no less, and presuming I knew I'd die, I would continue my life as usual. I'd wake up the morning of my last day and go to school, just like I normally would. My goal would still be to put my best effort into my work, but in addition I'd try to enjoy it more. Immediately after school I would choose a gravestone for myself, and then write a personal poem or epitaph to go on that gravestone. To finish off the last few hours of my life I would find a burial place for myself on our own land and dig my grave in solitude.

Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone; all leave it alone. - Thomas De Quincey
