A crazy professor of mine is requiring us to write a death paper. Yes, he's that crazy professor everyone at Miriam is talking about when it comes to Philosophy of the human person. Apparently, our turn has come and we have to stage our death, make it as creative as possible and cry our eyes out in saying good bye to people.
Death is really a touchy subject to everyone. Especially who are scared of dying. That includes me. It seems so farfetched at this moment but after what we witnessed before the year end, it doesn't seem too far away anymore.
So what scares me about this entire death thing is actually the way I'm gonna die. I don't want the gruesome thing and neither do I want the regretful events that apparently happens most of the time. I wanna go when I'm ready. When I'm ready to let go and I know that I'll face anybody in the next world with my head held high. I've looked down one too many times in this life time and I have no intention of continuing that annoying parade on the next.
I'm scared. Scared of what awaits me in the other side. Yeah, everybody has to go, so forgive me for being so afraid of everything that is instore.
It seems I want to do a lot of things that my limitation is allowing me to do but I can't do it because I am limiting myself. How convinient. Why does life have to be so complicated?
Don't answer. I already know why.
So about this death paper thingy. It kinda reminded me of Vienna Teng's Passage. But I do not like to die that way. I wanna die recognizable. Believe me. Pain is not welcome when death arrives.
So how am I gonna stage my death?
Anybody up to give me a Eulogy? It would be much appreciated. Oh, pls don't mention the Hippo part, coz I am so changing my name after college. XD
Anyway, arms is already up. Gotta run.
