Day 4 of Project Impossible: today's question is-
What would you do if you had 5 days to live?
Theresa's response:
If I had 5 days left to live, first thing I’d do is tell everyone anything I’ve always wanted to tell them. If I hate someone, I’d tell them so. If I love someone, I’d tell them so. I’d say sorry to anyone I’ve ever hurt and never had the chance to apologise, or have felt that I have not apologised enough. I would tell all my friends and family how much they all mean to me.
Then I’d work to pay back all the money I owe my parents, and start giving my possessions away (I think this would be easier than writing a will). Yes, that means Jenny Lam will be getting my clothes and books =]
I’d make it clear that I want to be cremated. I would save my parents the burden and pay for my own funeral service, tombstone, etc etc.
Once that’s all over and done with, I’d start trying to fulfil everything on my list of things to do before I die (yeh, I actually have one!). This includes being given a bouquet of dandelions, sleeping under the stars on the beach overnight, have something legally copyrighted under my name, experience a white Christmas, make someone cry tears of happiness, getting a standing ovation, going on a shopping spree in New York and kissing someone passionately in the rain (yes, like in that scene from The Notebook or Breakfast at Tiffany’s). Yes I’m a hopeless romantic, nothing I can do about it.
Jenny's response:
I would probably worry about it, and get scared and more scared as the day approaches.
Hopefully, that wouldn’t be the case.
I wouldn’t tell anyone about it until the very last minute, because if I did, it’d be too painful. Ok, I’d probably tell one person though, so I wouldn’t be the only one crying if things get a little too sad to handle.
In the first few days, I would drop out of school and work on fixing up any bad relationships I had, and reveal any secrets I was holding, tell people things, basically fixing up my life.
I want to leave under a good impression.
In the last days, I would chuck the biggest party with all my family and friends, party hard, and simply enjoy life to the fullest, because isn’t that what life’s all about?
You’re born, and eventually you die. If you’re not going to enjoy what happens in between, then what’s the point?
What would YOU do?
