What would you do, if this was your last?

What if you knew that certain moments and special occasions would be your last?

Life is so precious, yet so fickle. Some people get prior warning that they’re living their last moments, some people do not. What if you had prior warning? Would you change anything?

Would you change your perspective on life? Your priorities? Your attitude? Think about it. What if this would be your last Christmas, your last birthday, your last family holiday? What if you knew you would never be able to complete all you wanted in life?

It’s a really shitty and traumatic thing to have to constantly think about, isn’t it? Unfortunately, it’s something that plays on many people’s minds on a daily basis.

Will I ever see another Christmas!

Will I ever write a date with 2019 on the end?

Will I forever be 36?

Will I get to celebrate another family member’s birthday?

The “Will I??” list seriously goes on.

I’m not writing this to get “thoughts and prayers” nor receive comments like “stay strong” and “keep fighting”. What I truly want from you all is to live your lives to the best of your ability.

Sweating the small stuff? Let it go.

Stuck in a dead-end job that’s making you miserable, sick and affecting your quality of life? Leave.

In a relationship or friendship that’s making you unhappy, trapped and unfulfilled? Leave.

Feeling as though your life isn’t quite going down the right path, or that you’re struggling with something? Don’t be ashamed to seek help.

Go on that holiday you’ve been dreaming of!

Treasure each day and each moment as a gift, because that’s what it is. Our days, moments and lives are a gift, treat them that way because you never know when they will be taken away from you.
