Dear Death,

Seems you are fiercely working on a KPI and I hope you will get a huge performance reward for the next quarter. But this is so vile the way you are vandalizing people on Earth. But I know you are an obedient and a responsible employee of Hella. My only concern is you are so melodramatic these days. You seem to be so frigid and surly. The hyperbole you vow is filthy. Hmm. However, I know you are consigned to a lifetime of servitude to your sovereign Boss. But you could pity poor and innocent humans who died recently across the world.

Anyway, I don’t go berserk with you even though you are a crackpot because you give the meaning to our lives. You proved us that a retreat will not be defined when it comes to you and you made us realize that the time we have for the journey of life is limited and finite. You proved that we as humans should value being conscious about what we do with what we have now at this moment because sooner or later, we’ll run out of time. By this moment, I’ve spent ⅓ of my life and still finding my reason to live, the purpose of life and the light within me. Apparently I epitomize the ordinary youth which recklessly waste time and the energy. I haven’t given up yet. But I’m plagued by the fact that you are a constant and my life is always revolving around you.

You compelled me to prioritize my mental health over drama because I might die with a scattered heart. You impelled me to be kind always because I don’t know when you take up the person in front of me. You nudged me to do something good for others because I’ll be only a memory. And of course you revealed me that I must live the moment because that’s all I have. Neither past nor future. These are hard teachings you somehow made me convinced to follow the untrodden way.

Among those who are waiting for you, I am hopeful to see you at the end of a heart filled and a well lived life. Please go easy on me. My quest has just begun and I’ve grasped all the inklings you have given me timely.

But man, go slow and be amiable even if it is hard for you.

Regards,
Dulana
