The idea of "living like you're dying" refers to this way of life with no boundaries. Saying those out of pocket comments, spontaneous trips and activities, doing all the things that scare you because you may not get the chance to again. But for me, it's different.
I know I'm going to ctb one day. And so when I think about "living like I'm going to die", I start to step back from life. I make less efforts to hang out with people. I don't go the extra step when helping out. I try to be as little of a presence as possible. Why? So that when I die, they're a little more prepared. And it's not this massive part of their life that's suddenly gone and nobody knows how to literally function, it's more of an inconvenience that will be dealt with and forgotten.
Is it just me?
