They say to live your days as if they were your last, but what if that day never came. Yes we all must die eventually but they also say that you can prevent it... for instance you can prevent cancer by not smoking, you can prevent having a heart attack by going for a run every once in a while. But how many times can you brush it off until it hits you with full impact and when it does, who will be there to watch. Your mom or dad, maybe your best friend from high school, or maybe that one person who you were never meant to meet.

In my family life expectancy was pretty long and I know it's a good thing to live a long life and of course I want to grow old with the people I love but what about when I'm in a retirement home... between the pain I will get every time I move and the constant reminder that I'm running out of time... I don't think it's worth it.
But now that I think about it... I would rather die in a retirement home when I'm old and ready instead of being shot at the age of 15 or being bit by the dead but I now I don't have much choice on the matter.

I guess it's inevitable
