How to Live Forever | me

This is 100% my most heartfelt piece so far. I know with certainty my relationship with death and life changed when my mom died. If you’ve lost someone close to you, you know exactly what I mean. Even if you haven’t…yet… this article will give you a new perspective on life, and how to live it to the fullest.

Topics:

  • the importance of your relationship with death

  • the death of my own mother

  • taking the easy way out vs. the hard way

  • how to live forever - your legacy

5 songs for when you’re in your feels

I included 5 songs in How to Live Forever. This list could have been very long. Turns out there are a lot of songs about life, death, and love. So here are 5 more that didn’t quite make the cut for that article, but are, nonetheless, worth listening to.

Most of these are from my playlist “Feels m8”:

This playlist is something I listen to when I’m in my feels, mate. Get it?

I love songs that get me hype but sometimes I find it necessary to look into the darkness.

In a dark room, the eye is drawn to light.
