say hello to the grim keeper

My boss and I (in my organization) are having a campaign to have our members respond to something we were asking.  I would not like to dwell in that because it might give away my identity?  Anyway, the campaign goes with the phrase “In the last seconds of your life, what will you say?“  When I first read the line, it didn’t really struck me as important but when I have read it enough, I came to realize its relevance; what would I actually say?

Our last seconds can be as important as the rest before because it caps off entirely who you are.  It is the period that says the story has ended.  Without the period, it seems like something is missing.  Not all though are given the opportunity to actually realize it is their last seconds.  Nevertheless given the certain circumstance, what would I actually say?  Would I be able to say I am very happy with my life, have no regrets and thank God that all has gone well?  Or would I be saying that I could have done better?  With these questions, occuring now when I’m still young and healthy, I could actually form now what words I would be saying later on, depending on my actions as of the moment.

Thinking about it, what I want to say at the last seconds of my life is: “I hope that everything I’ve done is enough.”

Those words are problematic.  What is enough?  Why do I just simply hope?  Surely not everything is relevant.  But know what?  I don’t care, as of the moment, I’m 19 years old and those are the words I want to say.

Note to self: I’m so pathetic, reading another’s love story.
