tick tock


Did you know you’re trapped in a time bomb?

What would you do if I told you, you were dying?

Would you make the most of every day?

Would you stop your hatred, judgement and lying?

Would you use your days to simply live in every moment?

Would you stop your pens and pencils?

Would you make up with your biggest opponent?

Would you worry less about your duties?

Would you focus on what’s important?

What would you do with that money you’ve saved up?

Would you travel around the world?

Would you provide starving children with a cup?

What if I told you that you’ve been dying your whole life

By the time youre dead, it will be too late to change your mind.
