My watch stopped today. At 1.47, time stopped ticking. For a second, I thought to myself what it would be like if that second was the last one there would ever be. If there was no solution so simple as replacing a battery. So, if you only had one day left on earth, what would you fill it with? I have the feeling that it wouldn't be the huge, life-changing events or occasions or gestures you always suspect you'd choose. It's probably the things within your consciousness, the things that occur in your every day life and always acknowledge as a moment of happiness.
Off the top of my head, these are the three things that popped into my head:
1. Eat a whole New York cheesecake to myself. Without a second's remorse, just sheer gluttony.
2. Stay up all night and watch the Northern Lights.
3. Write a note for everyone I've ever cared for, explaining without any thought to the consequences, what they meant, and how they'd made my life better for however long the period they'd been in it.
So, if today was all we had left, what would you do with your final hours?
