I feel like we have had this topic at some point way back in the distant past... but in any case, I was recently asked this question by a friend and at the time I had no good answer. After giving it some critical reflection I have decided that the logical thing to do is, what I truly wanted unbarred by any restraints society might put on me. The only thing is I don't really have a clue what it is that I really want. So I ask this question to the forums as a means of soul searching and discovering what is really important to us. What would you do if you only had 6 months to live?
Reconcile with friends family, and end my days doing the things I love, I know someone who was told they would go blind by the age of 30, they said they would want to end their days around love ones and reconciling and doing what makes them happy.
Do things that I always wanted to do like travel the World, reconile with my friends and family and try to come to peace with myself that I was going to die.
Let's make it that tomorrow morning you are informed that you have only 6 months to live, but every day until then you are at your full physical capability. I don't have any close family members aside from my immediate one (parents and siblings), so not much to worry about there. I'm still in school (final year), and I probably would still go most days. Talk to friends, teachers, have fun, that sort of thing. Play sport, again with friends. Be a little more mischievous. Play games with and against friends, that's always fun. Go out with family/friends on trips. Interact with them more. Teach my little brothers the lessons of boy/manhood. I would travel a bit, but not too much. Rome and Beijing would be my top destinations. I would also probably start a blog or vlog, to keep me grounded and connected. I'm not that choosy about my bucket list, except for two things - I want to go skydiving (I know, cliche), but above all, I want to drive fast/nice/awesome cars. On nice open roads and on a race track. Something like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLAtcrB0GZg&t=4m49s I honestly would have no idea about how to proceed with the issue of my girlfriend. Continuing the relationship seems selfish, but we both like each other a lot, this relationship has been going a lot faster than any other I've had. You know, I wish I could be the kind of person to do something important/inspiring, but that fact is I'm not. I'm okay with that. EDIT: Once my story got media attention, I might try something like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...ntry-Music-Awards-date.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
First tie up all loose ends, say my goodbyes, etc. Then I would make two trips. One to Paris, France and the other to Austin, Texas. Couple that with some other things that I can't think of and i would be all set to go.
Try to undo things not proud of, see place and people, do things that I would not have the courage to do talk to a girl or the sort, spill seed just in time of death. Great Success!
I would be less of an asshole to people I was an asshole to.I would yell in hatred towards my history teacher becouse of her negativity and douchebaggery.Why?Becouse what will she say to a dying student in response?
If my physical condition is not a problem, I'd want to visit Asia, and return to Iceland. As for the rest, I don't know, drink with mates or something. Now, in the situation where I'd have something like cancer and I'd have 6 months to live, I'd ask to be euthanised.
Why? I would do almost everything the same as if I was fully physically capable, but do the physical stuff earlier. Why wouldn't you drink with mates and travel as you normally would, at least as long as your body allowed?
I take from this you've never been around a terminal cancer patient in their last few months? I did, and I don't want to ever end up like that.
Play Mass Effect 3, get to know my friends better and go out with my crush. Also reconcile with my immediate family.
