Kingdom of Knuffel

From The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock.

Question #78: If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living?

I would probably stop making any plans regarding my future (career wise). I mean, it's somehow what is happening right now, since this corona outbreaks kinda put us all on hold.

I would probably:
- live for the moment (that means that I would have fun every day, party, drink, etc.);
- enjoy my time with my loved ones (my family and my boyfriend);
- travel a lot (who cares if I run out of money?!);
- read all the books that i've always wanted to read & watch all the movies;
- eat as much as I want (cause who cares if I get fat?!);
- change my hair & change my appearance a lot (tattoos, piercings, surgery).

I wouldn't do anything too crazy, but I would do everything that I was too afraid to try before (do some extreme sports for example).

I would also try to live my life to the fullest. I don't think I'd do anything too crazy, just read what I've always wanted to read and watch what I always wanted to watch. Maybe some travels, as much as I'll be able to, to the places I always wanted to visit.

Oh, and I would meet up with my friends, a lot. I think it would be the best thing out of all this, to be able to actually say goodbye to all these people I care for. Though I'm not sure I'd spend a lot of time with my closest family. I think it might be a bit hard for them...

On the other hand, I think the awareness that my time is coming so soon will also be not too good for my mental stability. I think it might make me really depressed, so I might not be able to enjoy my last year as much as I would like to. I would try to fight it, of course, but I don't see myself not depressed at all in this situation.

By the way, last year I finally started to slowly do all these things I've always wanted to do, one by one. After all, you never know what will happen tomorrow. And, well, it's bad if this list only gets longer and longer over time...

If I only had a year I would do all the things that I was scared to, I would travel as much as I could and see everything I possibly could. I would make sure to say my goodbyes, get rid of everything in my apartment cause if I'm traveling then I wouldn't need any of it. I would probably donate all my stuff to people who really needed it but lacked money to get the things they need. I wouldn't be scared or anything like that. Death is the last and final part of life, when it's my time then it's my time but I'm going to have as much fun and experiences as I can before I go.

I would probably spend a LOT more time writing things down so whoever takes over from me has a lot of details and doesn't have to start from scratch figuring everything out.

I'd 100% do what Laviandre would. Live life to the fullest and travel as much as I could. Probably sell a lot of what I don't need and give the money to family too.

Honestly, no. I don't think making a sudden drastic change would really change the outcome, so I would mostly just ensure I was doing everything I could to leave something behind for my family, and above all, making sure my twin would be at ease with my passing.

I would probably quit my job and travel the world with my boyfriend, then spend the rest of my time with my family.

No, if I changed, it might worry people and I'd rather us have good or neutral times together until I die

Would save more money to cover my cremation and for them to have money somewhat.
