What would you do if you only had a month to live? Seems like a simple enough question, but it can be hard to answer. A lot of people would travel to places they wanted to, or eat all the chocolate they wanted. But I think most people would do what is truly important in life, like spend time with family and friends and take care of themselves. Some would quit there jobs some would sleep it away, but others would want to help others.

What would I do? I would be me, I would drop all the pretenses, I would drop the facades, I would just be me. Right now there are just three people online who I drop the facades with and no one in the "real world," not even my therapist. I would just give myself permission to be me for once in my life, let myself feel my feelings, let myself be true. I would of course try to take care of and comfort family and friends, but that would only be part of it, they would see the real me for the first time, and that would be a relief. I wouldn't come forward about my abuse, I am still too scared for that, I wouldn't even try to get even. I would just live the life I want to live for the first time ever. I would relax and let go of the stress, I would try to let go of those things that don't belong to me or that are not true, i would drop the anger at myself, I would drop the shame, I would drop the fear, and whatever is left I will let myself feel to the utmost.

Now, what would you do if you only had a month to live?

And why don't we try to do those good things now?

Just a thought, peace to you all.

Scott... give yourself permission to do this now.

What would I do if I only had one month to live? Honest? I would find, torture, and then kill my stepfather. I don't think that was the answer you were looking for, but it is the first thing that came to mind.
 
If only had a month to live? I would have my Uncle help me write music for the lyrics I have written and do a free public concert. I would NOT go to work, just call in and tell those I like good-bye.
I would tell all I love how much I do. (Working on that now).
I would sell all my possesions and give the money to St. Judes CHildrens Research Hospital and diabetes research.
I would go streaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'd max out every credit card that I could get my hands on. They would probably find my body somewhere in Europe.
 
Scott,
What would I do? I would be me, I would drop all the pretenses, I would drop the facades, I would just be me.

Just do it. You don't need to have a fixed deadline. Hopefully there is a good 80 years left in you. But who knows?

Take care and enjoy,

Scott - I don't know - maybe I would finally find the courage to tell all of those people that love me, that I also love them???

If I could, believe me I would mean it...it wouldn't be that 'tainted love' ....it would be real love.

I don't think the superficial things would be that important (although I used to think they were).

Thanks for the thoughts...Rik
 
I remember before the coma I thought I was in my last minute of my life. I thought to myself, "it's time to forgive myself for being just human. I don't want to die hating myself."
 
I think the idea to live as ourself is good one. To share love, and to make memories for those we leave behind us.
