Don’t change tenses in the middle of a sentence.
Now I don’t want to live a little just to spite him.

The only ask i have is that someone notices my absense. That's all.
I decided two years ago to stop playing things so safe and waiting for the "right time" for things. The right time doesn't exist and you need to just do the things you've wanted to. Obv doing things should be done responsibly. I got to events that I probably shouldn't spend money on and got back into horses when I was barely able to afford it. I can still only barely afford horse stuff but ya know lol. I make some bad financial decisions, but they aren't any that would ruin me. My stepfather hasn't tried doing things he's always wanted to do and is a miserable man who works, goes home, then sleeps. He used to have many hobbies but claims money is keeping him from doing fun things... It isn't though (in his case) and people can still do fun things on a budget.
This guy looks a lot like my old neighbor, Harry. Classic man's man - that same stocky build and gray hair, avid water skiier, perpetual tan, usually had a smoke casually hanging out of his mouth. He drove a bread truck. Collapsed while climbing into it one day. Doctor said he was dead before he hit the ground. Miss ya, Harry!
Living is too expensive, all I am allowed is trying to survive.
'Live' does not mean "go on an extravagant vacation".
It could mean as simply as "walk to the park and eat a sandwich with the birds"
The park, the birds, and the freedom to walk somewhere aren't a given for many people.
could mean
It's true but that's only one option. Actively, seek others.
Maybe live with a little more sunscreen than this guy, just to make sure you don’t get skin cancer.
What’s wrong with him? He looks pretty good for a 25 year old!
I'm fucking trying to "live a little" but money don't grow on trees and i got bills to pay.
I could think of a way to make your death notable, btw 👀
I might die during a world ending event, which could happen if the dumbass idiots who run our world keep up with their dumbassery.
Or it could come in a defined day, after a few agonizing months in a hospital bed. Sure, plans will go unfinished, but not always death is sudden.
You literally can't know that.
1.) The day of my death will probably be notable, by definition.
2.) Maybe I plan it around a big event, who's to say!?
3.) Besides that, I don't have any real plans, so I can't fail at my goals.
The world will still continue without you. Live a little.
This message brought to you by a total hippocrite that hardly gets out at all.
For all you know, the world ends with me. We won't know for certain if/until someone manages to finally take me out.
Very appropriate "Tutto passa" tattoo
I’m putting the “dead” in “debt.” 😎
