A strange evening

Mi scuso con Emerlist.

What am I going to do with my life? Sometimes I realize that, if I died tonight, I’d probably leave many things undone. That’s it. This thought leaves me astonished. I suddenly realize that people often do projects, delay things, and don’t act just because they are (wrongly) sure that they’ll have time in the future. Take, for example, my best friend. She has always delayed any attempt to rebuild a successful and meaningful relationship with her cousin; she did so in the name of a presumptuous hypothesis that her cousin wasn’t in her highest priorities. Then, suddenly, her cousin tragically dies, being a never-forgotten 17-years-old boy who was heartbreakingly denied of any bright future. And what is she left with? With the eternal sorrow of never being able to clarify everything with her cousin. Is that what we are aimed for? Should we really let our life fade away without any order? I, sincerely, don’t think so. Even though we may know hundreds of people (but do we really know them?), - and even though I agree with the fact that it’s impossible to get in touch with all of them, just for saying you’ve lied to them five years before – I personally believe that anyone of us should wonder whether the relationship with someone else (in fact, anyone from the list of your acquaintances or friends) is well built or, instead, based on some white lies or similar. That’s what I mean: anyone should check, within himself, for one specific thing: transparency in relationships. Is that impossible to achieve?

From tomorrow (you aren’t really going to die tonight, right?), be focused on this purpose, either to reestablish older relationships, or to safely create new ones. Call your old buddies, and fix everything. You’ll feel better, and you may even die without regrets.
