Today I think I had the most terrible pamic attack of my whole life. And it wasn't just something my mind made up. I was exposed to real danger today.
"What happened?" you must be thinking. It turns out that not one, but two earthquakes hit my city today. It was a horrible experience, because everything was moving that hard that I also caught a headeache and dizzyness (they both lasted almost a whole minute). Later I got to know that the first one had 6.0 grades, and the second had 6.8 grades on the Richter's scale.
As you can suppose, I'm not joking here. While I was preparing a backpack with things my family and I would need in case of an emergency, I thought about the possibility of dying today. It al seemed so close that I kind of accepted it as a reality: one day you wake up and absolutely anything can happen to take you to the grave. It might seem unfair, but this unpredictability of life is something we can't control.
Anyways, I also thought if could I be proud of myself if my life ended today. My answer would be a yes, but not a strong yes. So I just realized that I've been doing things well and that I'm satisfied with the results I've been having, but I can always do better.
Since I am aware that death is something surrounding us, I can't waste my time feeling stressed and unsure. I want to explode all my capabilities. I want to strengthen my body and mind to face new challenges everyday. Because if I am going to die, I will pass away knowing that I gave my best to myself and to the ones I love, so that I will die with a smile (as the Bruno Mars song says).
I hope this reflection touched you, or if you're the one that sees death as a salvation I would like to know your pov on this. Lots of love for everybody ❤️🙏🏼.
