Journal Essay Contest: One Month To Live

[BlazzinBebe88]

Your doctor just informed you that you have one month to live. Do you tell anyone, and what do you do with your remaining days?

No. Theoretically - it would be nice to think I could tell everyone I knew and let them get as prepared for my death as I would be doing but it wouldn't be logical. I know no matter who I told I would get treated differently because of what was happening. My life would turn into a fake and unpleasant torturous world where everyone is kind to your face, won't give you honest opinions and talks about it behind your back. Easier to continue on living your life the best possible way, interacting with everyone you know and love. Making mends with people and forgiving them. You spend every second doing anything and everything that will make you happy so you know you've lived your life to the fullest.
