One year to live - General - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=mac338;45227423]When I was 16 I wrote a bucket list. It included things like skydiving, climbing certain mountains, travelling through the entire country without any money and nothing but my clothes, falling in love with someone (mutual), a lot of travel destinations and directly facing every fear I had. I finished my bucket list when I was 19. :) And I am goddamn pleased about it! (Minus hiking through India and Nepal, meeting and living with local people, and experiencing the Himalayas... which I will do this winter. Just ordered my plane tickets two days ago.) :dance:[/QUOTE] Well you have the means to do so. If you live well off in your younger years you have the time to do anything.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;45231457]Well you have the means to do so. If you live well off in your younger years you have the time to do anything.[/QUOTE] Nah man, I grew up in poverty. No money went my way, but either I worked hard for my goals or I spent no money on them. Even if you don't have money, as long as you manage to stay debt-free you don't need to spend any. I frequently dumpster dive my meals and sew together old clothes to make new ones. [editline]28th June 2014[/editline] Crossed 3500 km of Norway - north to south and back north again, without spending any money. All I did was hike, and often they'd offer me a free meal or bed. Self-obligation is an illusion (though taking care of others still is a responsibility, and the only thing short of debt that should stop you from fulfilling your goals)

My dream has always been to be in a band, play music for a living I'm 17, and that's what I'm doing. It's hardly a living, we don't make much from it but those nights when we're on stage are the happiest nights of my life.

I'd likely travel and rack up massive debt then die:v:

Yes I'll just do it right now with all that money I don't have

Our situations aren't too different. My family used to be well off, recession, then medical bills, and no we're poor as fuck. I can't get a job, and literally nothing to do most days.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;45216623]If I had 1 year to live, I'd go payday irl. Rob a huge bank with a few doods.[/QUOTE] Do. It. Now.

[QUOTE=Twatwaffler;45241959]Do. It. Now.[/QUOTE] It'd be better to do that during the final weeks.

If I had one year to live, I would waste it here on facepunch because I don't really feel my purpose in life. And I'll wish for that one year back, only to know that time never stops for anyone. It will outrun you, it will leave you behind, left behind for damnation.

[QUOTE=seano12;45225218]On the final day I would definitely like to go skydiving without deploying my parachute. Everything else? I'd spend all of my time outside away from the computer.[/QUOTE] Thus making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Congratulations.
