What Are You Waiting For?

from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

May: On LoveMay 28Today, May 28th, marks your death. According to your calendar, you have until eight PM. And then it's all over. So the question is how will you spend the time you have left? What will you do? Who do you want to spend this time with? Is it possible to tie up any loose ends on any projects or tasks? Do these even matter anymore? And perhaps most importantly , what do you want to say and to whom? What are you feeling inside that you need to bring to light? Don't wait to reach out to that estranged relative or that friend you fell out with or just kind of stopped talking to. Let them know you’re thinking of them. Tell your partner you love them. Hold your child and let them hear your words as often as time allows. If you love them, say it now. Waiting is a mistake.Reflection title: What Are You Waiting For?Creative inspiration: Haruki MurakamiReflection Question: Who have I been thinking about that I need to reach out to? Who do I love that needs to hear the words today before it's too late?
