What would you Do with your life if you knew that you will die at the end of next Week

[noname223]

There is something similar at the end of Infinite Jest of David Foster Wallace. Someone knows He is going to get killed, it is an addict and He Takes so many drugs that He pisses and shits himself. Later He gets tortured to death though.

I have 13 k on my Bank Account. I think I would waste a lot of money. I cannot take drugs because I had Psychosis. But I would take A LOT OF benzos. And man this would feel good. I might would induce mania by sleep deprivation to get the thrill.

I might actually would go to hookers I mean why not if you die anyway soon. STDs would be no problem anymore.

I don't think I would do investments in stocks just for the thrill.

I might would travel to a different country and go shopping in luxury Shopping mals.

However, this is just a thought Experiment. There are few scenarios where your death is 100% in such a short time.

Maybe it would be better to spend the time with my friends. Maybe going together to Japan.

What Do you think?

Honestly? Probably stay in my bed and deliberately doomscroll to the point that I completely lose any sort of hope for humanity and welcome my death. It's weird, but it'd make me way more ready when the time would inevitably come. The things I want most in my life aren't really the ones that can be accomplished in a week anyway (finding a soulmate, getting a stable job, a sense of community, etc.). I suppose I COULD try to hitch a flight to some underdeveloped country and go crazy on hookers and drugs... but that's risky, rather immoral, and I don't know how I'd feel at the end. Either one would make me want to keep living, which wouldn't help when the end came.
I think the only other thing I'd do is donate all of my saving to an environmental nonprofit. They need the help.

I would be extremely happy and elated! I would order expensive take out round the clock and watch movies and laugh! The thought of me leaving finally would make me so happy! I would give everyone a hug and say goodbye and I'd imagine I'd be skipping for joy as I walk away. That would be the happiest news I've ever heard.

Just what I am doing now. Spending time with my pets (I have a cat in my lap now), my son and the neighbor kids. Life isn't perfect (my brain still thinks it's a good idea to leave) but rationally I know it would be foolish to go now. There are simple pleasures I am not ready to let go of -- a hug from my son, the neighbor kids giggling as they play, the dead of night while I lie away wondering if this is what death is, without the pain, of course. I think this is what they call a little bit of a recovery??

I would just wait until it's over and spend my time here.

I'd go somewhere remote and tropical away from entitled people where I can listen to the birds and bugs sing while I feast on fresh fruit and soak up the peaceful ambiance.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Visit a few places. Eat some nice food. Do my best to get my affairs in order.

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

Sell everything I have to get money for a flight ticket to be with my person a last time.

 

[Sockeye Salmon]

Live the same as usual, just happier and excited for the death, probably buy tasty and expensive food since might as well

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I wouldn't really do anything special since there isn't anything in life that I care about in the first place. I'd just waste my time with random bullshit until a week passes where I would then finally be free from this hellish existence

 

[Shadows From Hell]

I would be more excited than anything to know my death was going to be within a week.

Guess I'd find a peaceful spot, and fish my days away, and get drunk as hell.
