International CBSE boarding school in India
A WAITING GUEST: DEATH
The paper is clutched in my hands, the force exerted on it is unknown to me, but my sub-consciousness repeatedly screams at me, reminding me about the excruciating pain; Ecole International cbse boarding school in india I deliberately push it away.
Should I turn it over? Should I read about the day I’m fated to die on? All these thoughts cloud my mind, gripping it with the strength of curiosity, the hunger to know about that particular day increasing. “Come on…You know you want to, Ecole International cbse boarding school in india so-” I cut the thought off, anger consuming every inch of my body; anger at my incapability to make up my mind on a choice like this. If I knew the date of my death, I might not be as happy as expected; I won’t be content. I know my inner self, and knowing this, I also know that I will be scared by the passing of the days. I know anxiety and all the other negatives will cover me, bury me under them….and I don’t want that. I don’t want be that weak, scared girl who is counting the days off of her fingers and thinking she is ready to go, all the while trembling from the inside.
I know what I want. Ecole International cbse boarding school in india I know what I need in order to lead a happy life; and it surely is not this piece of paper. I’m not going to turn that piece of paper over…instead, I’m going to live my life to the fullest, experience every new first, try everything that comes my way, grab all opportunities and just….Breathe; breathe in a life whose neck is not choked by a clairvoyant piece of paper, and when that day comes I’ll know and be content that I have lived my life fully. I’ll be ready, when that day comes. I will be prepared for my departure and I won’t be that weak and scared girl anymore. I will have become someone who surprises death and greets it as a long lost friend; and thus I tore to shreds the paper containing the arrival information of a waiting guest; Death.
