Iv had the "6 month to live" thing very seriously in my personal life. I had a three percent chance to surive after surgery and treatments. I took that damn three percent and ran with it. All the time before the risky surgery, I spent alot of my time with my family. We went places, mostly to the zoo, because at the time I was 13 and loved animals. I lived much simpler. I experimented with cullinary skills. I simply took life as it was and realized just how wonderful it was. I still got in fights with my parents, I didnt focus on school so much, and threw myself headfirst into religion. Now, I am proud to say that I am in my last year of highschool, still going through a different form of treatments, but living life as normally as I can in my situation. I am still involved with my church, and have a part time job at the local burger place. I have big dreams of going to college next year, and have just recently started a relationship with a very wonderful man. :laughing: that damn three percent didnt define my life. I define my life.
You have six months left to live. What do you do?
I jacked this from the INFJ thread, but I posted this on here because I was curious. 
What would you guys do?
This was my reply:I would drop out of school, and work part-time at a medium-paced job, doing something I like. I would aim to save up a certain sum of money so that it can be used to provide for my family after i am gone. I'd most likely use that money to buy some kind of bond or a 5-10 year CD, so that the interest would accrue and this can be used for something worthwhile by my family. Ideally, for a summer vacation sometime down their lives. Our family has been planning to go to this specific place, and has been saving up for that so I'd want my savings to be used years later, when my family has gotten over the grief, and can think back of me and smile.
Outside of work.. I would feel free to enjoy life. Go to the beach as often as I want. Paint a lot. Sing a lot, even though I suck. take dancing lessons, take more music lessons, do all the things i wanted to do but wasn't able to do. Eat a lot of chocolate, go on a cruise, enjoy all the small things in life. Ironically, the idea of having a certain amount of time to live is very appealing to me. It gives me a sense of closure... and because i know my timeframe, i would act accordingly. With life right now, I feel like things are unsettled which kind of irks me, I have to often balance the ideal and practical -- what i want to do versus what i should do. but since i have the time frame, i'd just do what i want to do instead of pursuing my ambitions in grad school. the idea of knowing this makes me feel liberated in a sense.
I would live life with no regrets.
And. as one of the last, last, last things I would make amends with everyone, whether i wronged them, or they wronged me.
