sariel85342yWe're all simultaneously dying and not dying at the same time.
If you know you're going to die by a specific date you're already ahead of the other players.
Plan your time out if you don't want to waste a moment of it. Spend your time, money, love, however you want to even if others disapprove.
It's not entirely selfish to want to be happy in your final days, just make sure you can help provide closure to those you care about the most.
I knew a guy whom had cancer that spent $20k on hookers, drugs, and gambling in Vegas over a week. He died about two months later. When I asked him if he was happy how things turned out, he said he wished there was more time to explore the world but that he didn't regret Vegas.
We all should come to terms with our own end, but there's nothing stopping us from treating every day like our last.
Not sure what you're going through but good luck and god speed. -
If you have a choice I would definitely try to not die - I suppose it’s more fulfilling but a lot more difficult. I got cancer a couple years back but have been on remission since and wouldn’t have got to experience interesting things if I would have gave up.

I'm young, but I've still had this problem for 5-7 years.
Eventually, I came to peace with it. We've all been given life in an inhabitable, yet jaw-dropping beautiful environment, seeking to kill us at every corner, every day. Each second I am breathing is a win for me. In my eyes, life is a gift - given to us to fight and enjoy for as long as we can. Until we can't.
And that's what I'm doing now. Enjoying every day I am breathing; enjoying the beautiful clouds in the sky, the sun's warmth, the greenness of the surroundings, and everything I can. Because a day will come I will be brought to my knees and the inevitable will happen - my last blink, my last breath. Hopefully, it will be a quick death, with little to no suffering. Hopefully, I'll greet it as a friend, after I've seen and felt all I wanted to.
But until then - carpe diem. Enjoy this wonderful struggle while you still can :) -

That's right.
Usually I recognise click bait and spam way quicker.
#ubusb and thx for clarifying.
How would you deal with the fact you might be dying soon?
Must be nice not to worry about work.
