48 Hours To Live

Hello everyone in the hive blockchain. I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the weather wherever you are. Welcome to my blog.

Thanks to the hive learners community for their wonderful initiatives. To grow on the blockchain and for the favour of its members, the community introduced a weekly program where members can come together, share thoughts, laugh, crack jokes and talk about important things.

The heart-to-heart Monday is held every Monday night. Starstrings (a moderator in the home learners’ community) hosts this show. In yesterday’s edition of heart-to-heart Monday, we celebrated the hive learners community at 4000 members and we also shared our thoughts on a scary, interesting, and mildly weird topic.

A lot of members were present in the show, which made it more fun and interesting. We played nice songs. And then when I came on, I saw the topic of the day “Imagine if you had 48 hours to live in this world, what would you use the remaining time to do? What would be the first thing that comes to your mind after getting the message that you have 48 hours to live”.

When I saw the topic, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a weird topic. I know some people might find it interesting, but I don't like topics like this. I don't feel comfortable when people tell me their dreams, I don't like talks about death, and I don't like talks about bad dreams. It is really complicated. Trust me, I wish I could explain. You see, I like talks about dreams and death, but I like stories about monsters, fairies, killings, and all. Just let it be, it is really complicated. It is even difficult for me to explain.

Nothing came to my mind when I read the topic. Like, nothing at all. But my senses clicked when @nkemakonam89 shared her opinion on the topic. Her view was so emotional, I'm sure it sent chills down the spine of some people that were present in the hangout. Nkem is a mother of three handsome kids, and how do you think she’d feel when she gets the message that she has 48 hours to live?

Who would take care of her kids? No one can take care of a child better than the way a mother would. At first, I took the topic lightly, but after hearing nkem’s view, I pondered on that topic all night.

48 hours to live? Just two days? I can't remember the person that mentioned that he'd like to get married and give birth within that period! Hilarious! As humans, there are a whole lot of things we would like to do. The list becomes too long and Amy even forgets important details.

After thinking so much about the topic all night, I checked my wall clock, the time was 15 minutes past 2. I put my phone on my reading table, changed into my pyjamas, and went to bed. A few minutes later, a notification popped on my phone. I'm not a deep sleeper so it woke me up immediately.

I shrugged. Stood up and checked who sent the message. “You have 48 hours to live”. Oh no! Scratch that “Favour, you have a pure soul. We need a being like you up here. You have 48 hours before we bring you here”.

I was shocked, my neck was stiff for a few minutes. I thought I was dreaming, but after pinching myself more than 5 times, I realized it wasn't a dream at all. The hive learners topic came to pass. Just 48 hours to live! A lot of things came to my mind. I wanted to try so many things.

Maybe, do something crazy? Rob a bank, maybe? Nah, that's too “not my thing”. Would it be better if I go on a tour of the nicest place? Nope, that wouldn't work.

Tick-tock! Just 48 hours to live and I spent 2 hours thinking of the nice things to do. After a few minutes, my brain clicked! It clicked really hard.

If I had 48 hours to live, I’d spend my time erasing memories of myself off the world. Wouldn't it be better if I never existed, than to put a forever-lasting mark on the hearts of my family, friends, and good people? After doing that, I’d sleep till my time runs out.

I can't think of anything else to do. Erase memories of me and sleep afterward. Maybe rob a bank, if I have spare minutes? Scratch that, I wouldn't do that.

Note: I answered the topic the best way I could. I don't like/feel comfortable writing on topics like this, so I had to blend it and answer it the way I did above. Humor me xd.

Thanks for reading.
