expiry date

What would your life be if you were told that you had an expiry date? What is life like for all the products that are given an expiry date? Do they live everyday to the fullest knowing where the end is located? Or do they let each day fly by without making any good use of it knowing that they don't have much time left?

I don't think food products are aware that they have an expiry date. I don't think they can live everyday to the fullest. They just wait for us to eat it... and...hope that they don't turn into FUNGUY before they make it to our tummies XD

...but if life etches an expiry date on me, I'd go and tell someone I love them. I'd cry for a day and then do the things that I've always wanted to do. I'd spend every waking moment trying to find what I can do to leave a legacy on this earth. Impact someone, make a difference. Love.

That's what I'd do. I know those are rhetorical questions, but I feel like answering them instead of writing my essay. I hate essays.

i'd quit school, convince boon to go on a trip around the world with me, take numerous risks that i normally wouldn't take because it might result in my early death (e.g. skydiving, eat strange foods), and enjoy every second i have left in this world. i'd probably be a little sad that i'd never be able to get married and start a family if i happened to have a short shelf-life. so hopefully, i last really long like a jar of pickled limes.

i'd quit school too, tell the people i cared about most how much i really did care, take all the money i have saved up for uni&such and take a trip with my family to a)see all the family I have seen in ~14 years, and then b)proceed to seeing the world!

then, i would every single book until expiry date is reached :)

Unfortunately, I think life does technically have an expiry date, though its distance from the present is large enough that we still proceed living in ways that we sometimes otherwise wouldn't want to. The scarier part is that some of us DO have shorter expiry dates than others, and sometimes, we aid in shortening our own expiry dates! I dono who's better off..he who knows the end is near and makes use of every last second of their life, or he who has so much more time and continues in living, but not LIVING.

I think about this all the time, and I think I'm doing better this year in comparison to the last..but ..ya know. lol

p.s. we must get together somehow! skating winter breakk? (A) hehehe
