"Soon I will not": a letter dying from cancer

Three years ago, 24-year-old Reddit user with the nickname mylasttie published a farewell post. He could live only a few months, and he decided to share what I understand, when on the verge of death. His letter is not lost its relevance today. Read it. Maybe it will make you a different look at life.

"Soon there will not be me, but it's not so bad if someone read this letter"

I'm only 24 years old, but I just chose the latter in his life tie. I put it on the funeral a few months. He may not be combined with a suit, but it is ideally suited to the occasion.

I too was diagnosed late, a long life is not even a glimmer of hope remained.

After that, I realized that in life the most important thing. Try to keep after you leave the world a little better than before you arrived.

My life so far, all of my life and even death do not matter, because I was not doing anything important.

Previously, I was so much care. But when I found out how much I have left, it is clear what is really important. So I appeal to you for selfish reasons. I want to give meaning to his life, to share what I knew.

About work

Do not waste your time on work which is not fun. You will not achieve success in what you do not like. Patience, passion and dedication are easy, but when you love your job.

About the opinions of others

It is foolish to fear views of others. Fear paralyzes and makes weak. If you do not fight it, it will grow day by day, until you are not left alone outer shell. Listen to your inner voice. Let someone thinks you are crazy, but others see in you a legend.

on liability

Monitor your life. Take responsibility for what happens to you. Cut the bad habits and try to lead a healthy lifestyle. Find a sport that you like. Most importantly - do not procrastinate. Let your life is determined by the decisions you have taken, but not the ones you missed.

About family

Appreciate other people. Friends and family - is an inexhaustible source of support, strength and love. Never take them for granted.

About health

We are so concerned about the health of your body that do not notice until his death that the body - it's just a shell. This packaging for our personal qualities, thoughts, beliefs and intentions. If inside there is nothing that could change the world, then it does not matter that the body will cease to exist.

It's hard to convey how important these simple revelation. I hope you listen to someone who is on their own experience felt the value of time.

I'm not upset, because I understand: the last days of my life became more meaningful. I only regret that I shall not find a lot of interesting things: for example, the creation of artificial intelligence, or new cool project Elon Musk. I also hope that the war in Syria and Ukraine will end soon.

I believe that the potential lies in everyone, only need to be very brave to reveal it.

You can go with the flow, to lose day after day, hour after hour. Or you can fight for what you believe in, and to write his life story. I hope you make the right choice.

Leave your mark on the world. Live a meaningful way, whatever that means to you personally. Aim for it. This world - a wonderful playground, where everything is possible. But we are not here forever. Our life is just a tiny spark on a small planet, flying in the vast darkness of unexplored universe. Enjoy your time in this world. Let it will be interesting. Let it worth something!

Thanks!
