Empty Hourglass

Today is the day I die well that’s what the doctor said and ya I know it’s a good sentence to wake up to. And over the past year I have gone from an upbeat young teen to an empty withering husk. During this year I have tried to do things to change my life and other people’s life for the best. When I first learned that I was going to die I decided that I would do the two things I have wanted to do my whole life but have otherwise to busy with school and work to do them. The first of these things would be to travel to Venice, Italy and try there different types of foods and experience there different type of culture. The second things I would do before I died would be to go skydiving due to my overwhelming fear of falling or heights. I would think it would be good to conquer some of my fears before my hourglass empties. But due to my condition I did these things early on in the year. During the rest of my life I have decided to try and help out at least a little bit in my community at some charity trying to help the people in one of those disasters that seem to happen every 6 months. This in all truth was just something to try and pull myself out of my own self-pity with other people’s misfortune. After realizing that this was not having the most positive effects. I decided to start visiting my family and friends that I did not get to see very often. Since all of this had been going on for about 7 months I started to get more and more bedridden. This is when I noticed I may have to spend the rest of my life in this room. So I asked my parents to get me a better bed and a couple of DVD’s which consisted of every season of doctor who and Torchwood. And this is where I am now wither away the clock of my life slowly clicking away and you know what I’m ready to die it had to happen eventually mine just ends sooner that other peoples.
