They say that before you die, you will experience the transition of life to death. You will do everything to live the remaining time to the fullest. The time that you will find yourself so energetic or so much tired at the same time. You may say every dumbest word you longed to speak out or say the most painful words of complaints you have within. You might find yourself finding the things you don't want to lose, you try to remember remarkable experiences whether they are painful or joyful, and lastly---- you might regret not doing things you wanted to do from the past years before you die. Yes, death is inevitable. Death is a permanent sleep. It won't exactly appear in your sight nor you can hear it coming, but it is doom, the feeling of melting softly while the bridge to the afterlife is waiting for you.
