If you die today

If you die today, your relatives will only ask, ‘How much time has passed?’

Because they’ll be more concerned about getting done with your last rites than mourning your loss.

Some friends will post sad stories for a few days,

but soon they’ll laugh again in new gatherings, forgetting you bit by bit.

The one you loved deeply will slowly begin to love someone else.

Your family will be the ones who suffer the most,

but even they will learn to smile in front of the world — because life won’t give them the choice to stop.

That’s the truth — this world doesn’t stop for anyone.

So live for yourself.

Fight for your happiness.

Dream your own dreams.

Because in the end, even those who cry at your grave will move on with time.

No one stays forever.

Even your absence will one day fade into the background noise of life."
