Months of Your Life

The passage of time is at the core of the mysterious nature of the universe we inhabit. Our lives are limited and as conscious creatures, we've been trying to wrap our heads around this inevitable fact.

Most of us don't like to think about death. It's uncomfortable, scary, sad. We pretend it doesn't exist, we distract ourselves to forget about it as soon as the thought arrives. But in order to truly appreciate life, you have to be aware of the fact that it will end. As with most scary things, if you face the thought of death, you'll find that in place of fear, joy appears. Memento Mori the ancients said. Remember that you have to die. The Buddhists call for the awareness of death as it comes to everyone, impermanence being the very nature of the world around us. They're intention was not to depress you, nor is it the intention of this app.

The goal is empowerment. Accepting death gives control. The time given to you is entirely yours. You can do whatever you want with it and spend it however you like. Follow your dreams, surround yourself with people that make you happy. Go places. Dance. Every second is far too precious to spend it on pleasing others or working jobs you hate to afford stuff you don't really need. Be reasonable, not everything is possible. The universe is not a gold fish that grants all of your wishes, but never forget that you're the director of the movie that is your life and you can shape it into the best experience you'd like to have.
