The only truth in life, -one that we can never alter- absolute separation, or simply the death itself. We live as if it is not coming for us; always postponing stuff, or thinking not that much, spending our lifetime day by day. We pass on the obituaries in newspapers, have no feelings when we hear someone losing a fellow, so we just say “my condolences” and move on just after that. Then someone that we are close with passes away; only then we get shocked, sorrowful, but mostly shaken by the absolute separation being closer to us, afraid. We are afraid of losing the chance to see the ones we love again, the fact that we cannot see how our childs grow up, but mostly saying goodbye to the beauty called “life”. That is when the “If only” sentences come, “if only I did not break her/his heart, if only I could complete that project, if only I spent much more time with them, if only I could have a chance to hug, tell how much I loved… if only…”

I have been asked for years, “don’t you get tired of doing all these at once?”. I live my life as each day may be the last. Always in a rush, constantly adding and adding to life. I don’t have a bad blood for anyone, of course I had offenses but I forgave them from my heart, I am free of them now, and free of negative feelings. I hug, call, care about everyone I wish, and share these feelings generously, neither do I postpone, nor leaving it to another time. I live my life being aware of how precious it is. Life is a moment, and it is now, so stop postponing it. Carpe Diem!
