100moods prompt: Pessimistic
Title: Dying Young
Word Count: 220
Rating: G
I never like to talk about it, afraid that I'll be painted as a pessimist, but I don't think I'm going to have a long life. Ever since I could remember, I've had the feeling that I'm going to die young. There isn't a history of illness in my family. My father dropped dead of a heart attack because he didn't take care of himself, but everyone else is either living or lived to a ripe old age. I still can't shake this feeling, though.
I guess that's why I feel as if life's too short to wait until the time is right to do something. If it feels good at the time, just jump in and take what you want. Savor every second of happiness you have, try to have more good times than bad and don't waste your time hating people.
When I found out that Peter's boyfriend had died, that strengthened my desire to live every day as if it could be my last. I think Peter feels that way now, too. If I do die young, I hope I left the world a better place than I found it. Actually, that sounds kind of conceited. Let me just say that I hope I managed to create more happiness than misery. I'm not so sure I did.
