#3A darker story: I was out of state, at a friend's house party, a few years ago and the discussion got non-superficial late in the night, as it sometimes does. His friends were talking about a friend who was not there.
Some time prior, this woman had an argument with her mother that escalated into all-out shouting, petty criticisms, damning accusations, anger. The last thing she yelled to her mother was "F* y!!"
The next morning her mother died suddenly. At the party, her friends were discussing how she regrets to the utmost of her life - that unfortunate and final send off. How she would give anything to undo what cannot be undone. How hard it is for this woman to try to forgive herself (the most important person of all to forgive).
I know it's a cliche but this is a true story. You may not see someone you love again - so don't part in anger. Don't curse out your parents or your significant other.

And yet you were perfectly willing to waste your time on a snarky reply.

#6But... but.. I have to go to school! And write essays no one will ever want to read, essays that don't even aspire to be something interesting!

#8What would you do if you found out, right now, that you have exactly 2 years left to live? Nothing more, nothing less. Exactly two years, and then you'll die in your sleep.
What would you do with those 2 years?
PS: "I'll train myself not to sleep" is not a good answer.

#9As one of those that has lived (through a car accident) this resonates so strongly. There are elements of my life that I'm deeply unhappy about but I'm working on changing them.
These changes won't overnight but what scares me more than anything is that it won't happen quick enough. I've seen the end game and it isn't scheduled months in advance or decades away in our future...
...it might be that you kiss your pregnant wife goodbye in the morning and simply disappear.

It certainly wouldn't involve sitting around pondering improbable situations.
