A Passing

For 66 years he lived, for 17 years and 10 months he survived and for 2 months, he existed.

Imagine, you decide that you are to embark on a journey to the tip of this particular mountain, you know the roads, you have certain norms and you have two companions beside you. Now the catch of this journey is, the whole navigation should be in darkness. That is, you know the roads but you don't know what those roads contain. In the first leg of your journey, you're confused because of this sudden change in lighting, then you get used to it and you start liking it. And then you realize you're not alone, you have company. The journey goes on for a while then you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, you realize you're reaching your destination, suddenly you realize you don't want to go, you start slowing down, your slow moving is causing punctures. Other cars motion you to advance faster, and then you realize, anyway you're heading to your destination, might as well make the best of it. And so you reach your destination, knowing fully, that your journey was the best part.

Life is a wonderful thing, it is synonymous to existence, survival, validity, it's funny how all of this claims to have the same meaning, but it is 4 distinct realities. Carpe Diem and YOLO is applicable only for a short period. In the end, when we say our final goodbyes, it's our deeds that our remembered the most. Our face might not be remembered by posterity, it is our deeds. So while you're at it, do stuff that people might remember you for. It is upto your wisdom to realize if you ought to do it in a good way or other wise. 

Don't take advice or musings from a 15 year old. You ought to already know this by now. I am nothing but expressing my thoughts because I hate bottling it in.
