Death
This is the day that I predict that I die, although very unlikely, I would have lived a nice and short 76 years on this earth. I believe that when I get older, I will realise that time has flown by, and I have spent most of my time. That is why, I will be satisfied with my death becasue I do not hold back, and will do everything in my power to have lived life to the fullest, and have been the best person I can be! -
