Off to Nepal

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
~Helen Keller

“I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.”

Last will


I have often been thinking about writing my last will - to write down all those things that I would like to say so if car hits me tomorrow, those words would still reach their targets. If I start to think more closely what message I would like to pass on, it becomes difficult. In the past it was not difficult at all as I had huge list of things in my mind to write about: "to him I would like to say this and to her I would like to say that". Now, I think I would leave just a short message. No need to make last will, this blog will do just fine. So here's my "last will" to you all readers (if at some point I don't update this blog for, let's say for six months, then this message becomes valid):

Please, do not grieve. Human life is too short for grieving. I always accepted death just as well as I accepted life.

I read from somewhere that 90% of people regret things on their deathbed. Mostly they regret that they did not have courage (feel free to fill any other excuse here) to do something they really wanted to do. There's just one life, one chance to do it all. Better not miss it.

I lived the life of my choice and do not regret any part of it. Life remained as a mystery and it never stopped amazing me. It was a great adventure :) Thanks to all of you who shared some part of it with me.

Enjoy life to its fullest, you (there's no need to list any names, if you're reading this it's enough) all.
