Nick: Forever_16
What are ordinary girl’s thoughts at 16? They can think about anything: about dating a dream-guy they are seriously in love with. They can think about going to college ... So girl’s thoughts at 16 can be different. But, I’m sure, nobody wants to think about illness... that can lead up to death. Sounds creepy.
But my thoughts are about it. I won’t survive.
Doom. You can’t escape this trap. Nowhere to go. Even if you really want to. But no, I won’t cry. After all, I’m not one of those who love it when other people try to feel sorry for them. No, I’m not one of those. Absolutely not. But at the same time, I’m still alive. I’m not dead. That’s why I need someone to speak out.
How does the famous quote sound: “Will the paper endure everything?” Why not start keeping a journal. The electronic version also counts. Yeah, it’s a great idea to start writing in an online-blog a month before your death. Doctors say that my life can end soon. And that I have no more than a month left to live. But, as I said, I am not planning to burst into tears. I will write here, on the blog, for a month. I will call it “Forever 16". Maybe I’ll find here crazy people (like me) who have a month left on this planet, and instead of hysteria and going crazy about it, suddenly decide to write down their thoughts here. Maybe I’ll find someone to talk to. At least.
Hopelessness
Fatal inevitability
Doom
Have you ever associated your life with these words?
