HOW DO YOU WANT TO DIE?

I'm pretty sure some of you have been asked this question at least once in your life. Although the topic may be a tad morbid for some, I believe we should all be ready to face death. Besides, we were all sentenced to die the day we were born.

I most definitely do not want to die in an accident. I prefer to die of old age or because i was sick of something(lung cancer? shit, should really consider quitting smoking soon). I just want to feel it if it's going to happen soon. You know how some people know when they're about to pass away? I want it to happen that way.

Ever since i read Tuesdays with Morrie, the thought of death doesn't scare me so much anymore. In fact, almost all my friends know this: when i die, i only want one song to be played...Louis Armstrong's, "What a wonderful world". Seems completely ironic for a funeral song but that's how I see the world, it's absolutely wonderful and no matter what happens, I know I'll die happy because I was able to live my life and enjoy it, bad experiences and all. No regrets.

I don't want people to cry, although I know they will. But in the end, i just want people to remember happy times with me and then maybe, their tears will turn to smiles or heck, even laughter.

"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it." -- W. M. Lewis

Begin yours. Today.

Yes, i think to myself...what a wonderful world!
