Imagine suddenly you no longer exist, poof, from one day to the next there is no more you.

What if you knew that this day would come in a month?
What if it wasn’t for another year?
Or in 5 years?

Would you spend your remaining time differently than you do now?
If so, why aren’t you already doing it?

    It’s a question I’ve thought about a lot. Not only to me but the limited time I have left with my parents.

    YOLO’ing only works for those without responsibilities to others or foresight. If you actually knew your life was ending, that certainly changes priorities. Life becomes a sprint instead of a marathon.

    To those who say without knowing the future, “Live every day as if it were your last,” I like to tack on, “… But there’s a fair chance you may actually live for another year or more!” Stay grateful; seize the day, sure, but you still need to tread water.
