What to do with potentially limited time?
Has anyone in this group become overwhelmed with the idea that there is a strong possibility (based on the prognosis of PF) that our lives won’t be as long as we anticipate? Thankfully, this doesn’t happen to me frequently but it does sometimes and then I get these impulse urges to do something grandeur, as if to ensure my time isn’t wasted. Sometimes, it is a sudden urge to travel and I don’t even factor in the cost, or sometimes it is making a large purchase of something I want and again cost isn’t a concern for me. This is problematic obviously because the bill of whatever this sudden urge of mine is will come and still needs to be paid. It’s like, when I think about my life being shortened, I just don’t want to miss out and in order to subdue that feeling, I want to do something that really makes me feel like I’m living and that makes me happy.
When I talked to a friend about this recently, she raised a good point and she said at least my impulses aren’t grounded in illegal substances, or risky behaviour that could harm myself or others. They are impulses that are good, such as travelling (which I thoroughly believe has only an abundance of benefits) or purchasing items that are materialistic. I think she has a good point! Right now, I am on an urge to book a trip. I want to see the world while I have the time, and I have decided to go to the United Kingdom in September. I have to wait a few more weeks to book my trip due to sorting out finances, but I just have such an urge to travel right now because I don’t want to miss out!
Do any of you ever have these urges to do something grandeur, either to add excitement into your life with PF or out of fear that you might miss out on the opportunity to do this later in life? I’d love to hear from you!
Charlene.
