In his twenties, he is in his twenties, and is the best among many.
But the reality is, in your twenties, you're not satisfied with your work life. Sometimes, because of a point of view, on the Internet for a night, resentful, as if not to argue a "right or wrong" will not stop; sometimes, also because of a mistake and uncomfortable self-remorse, began to doubt to deny themselves;
We'll take a lot of detours until one day, when our hair is thin, we find that we have to go away at the age of 20.
However, we still remember the manner in which we came, that is, the courage to walk away, and the courage to love and abhor. Even if we knew that the distant future was like a "picture cake", it would be difficult to "satisfy our hunger", and we would still regard it as a treasure and move forward bravely.
Because we in our twenties, tomorrow, is always full of hope.
But the hero of today's story, Holly Butcher, is different,
Because at the age of 27, she has no tomorrow.
Holly Butcher, 27, lives in Brisbane, Australia, with a charming smile, as shown in the photo.
Like many Australian girls, Holly loves sunshine and sand, sports and, of course, beauty. Like to enjoy the sun on the beach, but also not stingy display of healthy and beautiful body.
In the eyes of many family and friends, a lively girl like Holly will find a suitable lover with a happy and happy future. But no one thought that one day at the age of Holly26, a bad news would destroy the future.
Holly was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, ES). It is reported that the vast majority of patients die within 2 years, the 5-year survival rate is no more than 10%. The doctor told her that the rest of the time might be running out.
Holly's life was completely disrupted, and what he did at the end of his life seemed a bit unprepared, so Holly decided to write a letter to all the loved ones in the final moments of his life, recording the time he had missed and the good memories he had ever had.
Today, a year ago, the last letter from Holly was posted on her Facebook page. Although short a thousand words, but let countless people shed tears.
One piece of life advice from Holly:
This is a strange thing, when you are 26 years old, you have to face death. Because in your twenties, death is always ignored, and day after day, you always want it to go on.
Before the accident came, I had imagined countless times that I would grow old in what way I would grow old in the future:
I will have a beautiful family, even though I will have wrinkles and white hair, but this is my dream life.
However, this is life, it is so fragile and precious, but also difficult to predict! Every day is a gift from heaven, not what we deserve.
I'm only 27 years old, and I don't want to do this, leave.
I love my life, I'm happy, I owe a lot to those who love me and I love, but I can't control it.
I didn't give myself a plan to have to do before leve, because that would make me feel scared, and I chose to ignore the fact that I'm about to leave the world.
And sometimes, I want to talk about this once seemingly distant "taboo" topic.
I hope friends don't worry about the meaningless little stress in their lives, no matter what your life is, our ultimate destiny is to die.
So while you're still alive, cut the crap and anxiety and make every second worth living a great and valuable life.
In the past few months, I have often had time to think quietly, so I have been able to put aside a lot of distractions, which, at midnight, often rush into my mind.
A lot of times, we are troubled by a little bit of things, and at this point I imagine those people who are really facing huge difficulties and challenges, and then I will be grateful for the little problems I am facing.
Sometimes life is like this, trouble is everywhere, and all we can do is try not to let it affect ourselves and other people's lives.
Once you do this, go for a walk, take a deep breath of the fresh Australian air, take a look at the blue sky above your head and the green trees in front of you, they are so beautiful, think about it, actually can see the beauty in front of you, you are very lucky.
Maybe you're having a bad day-traffic jams on your way to work, baby crying last night to keep you from sleeping, or a barber who accidentally cut your hair too short and you don't think your breast is full enough. Or butt too big, belly protruding.
Maybe right now you're going through something that makes you feel bad, but believe me,
When you look at the whole life in my position, you will find it all insignificant.
At this moment, I watch my body weaken, but I can't help it.
I have no other idea. I just want to have another birthday with my family, or one Christmas. I also want to spend another day with my lover and dog.
Whenever I hear people complaining about how hard work is and how painful it is to stick to exercise, I want to persuade them to cherish their bodies.
Work and exercise seem trivial things, but when you're as ill as I can't get out of bed, you'll find how precious these things are.
All along, I have tried to live in a healthy way. This may be the main source of enthusiasm in my life. We should learn to appreciate and appreciate our body, move it regularly, nourish it with fresh food, and don't overdraw it.
Remember, physical health is inseparable from mental health.
You have to work hard to keep yourself mentally and emotionally happy, and you realize how stupid it is to indulge in social networking, and it doesn't matter at all.
You don't have to be led by the pop-up news and dialogue box, you have your own judgment and thoughts, you just have to be responsible for your own happiness.
Thank you for every day in your life, and when you spend a day without illness, you should be grateful to God for the occasional physical discomfort: colds, twisted feet, etc., learn to accept it, and be grateful that it won't kill you. And will disappear on its own.
Less complaints, more gratitude, one should learn to help each other, from giving to reap happiness.
Since I got sick, I always wish I could do more things for the people around me. There are always so many kind people, my family in my life. Friends and even strangers have given me great help and support during my illness, and I will never forget it.
Instead of spending money on material enjoyment, spend it on friends. When you're dying, will you think about a new dress? You can use the money to take your friends out to dinner, drink coffee, buy them a pot of plants or send them a massage or candle to tell your friends how much you love them.
Cherish other people's time, don't always let people wait for you because you have no idea of time, prepare before you go out every time, you should be grateful that friends are willing to spend time with you, and don't waste their time. Your friends will respect you for it.
Spend money on experience, not all material things. Spend a day at the beach, shove your toes into the sand, feel the waves, wash your face with sea water. Learn to live with nature.
Instead of recording everything with a camera, it's better to calm down and feel what it feels like to you. You can't spend your life in camera, or live and enjoy the moment in order to take a picture that you can post on your Time line. Don't live to take pictures of others.
Think about the question: is it worth the time you spend doing your hair and making up in the evenings?
Try to get up early and listen to the song of the birds and the beauty of the sun.
Try to listen to music, music is the best medicine, the older the music can heal.
Hug your dog, and I'll miss it very much.
Talk to your friends more, put down your phone, and ask them if they are doing well.
If you want to travel, walk, do not want to travel, do not force yourself.
Work for life, not live for work.
Seriously, you have to do everything that makes your heart feel happy.
If you want to eat cake, don't feel guilty!
If you do not want to do something, dare to refuse.
Express your love to someone who loves you in time, tell him I love you whenever you have a chance.
At the same time, you must remember that you have the ability to change status quo, have the courage to fight.
Oh, by the way, one last thing: if you can, do more good for humans, and you can donate your blood frequently, which will make you feel good and save other people's lives. Every donation could save three lives! It just needs to be so simple that you can do a great thing!
"over the past year, countless good people have donated blood and extended my life for a year, and in this year I have had so many wonderful moments to thank these people."
Today, last year, the letter was released along with the Holly leave message.
A year later, the letter received two hundred and fifty thousand likes and one hundred and sixty thousand shares, and many netizens were moved by it.
"on my way to work, I was complaining, as usual, about the injustice of my life, and I saw the letter and my eyes were full of tears, and now I think it's really a thing to be thankful for alive."
When I read'I'm only 27 years old, I really don't want to die,'it felt like a lump in my throat. My heart is broken. "
"I really need to change the vision of my life, and today I'm very anxious all day, because after taking a vacation, I have to go back to work and do a job I don't like, and I need to take control of my life and make myself happy again."
"I am a hospital working nurse, after work, my life and vision have been thoroughly change, I have seen too many life and death separation, hundreds of families because of the disease of their loved ones have to be separated forever, life is so fragile, So some of the little things in my life are not going to bother me now. "
"she's absolutely right. We've been fighting my husband's illness for a while, and it really doesn't matter when we're on the verge of a serious illness, and I'm willing to trade everything I've had for his health," he said. We adopted a child two years ago. Please pray for us! "
"on October 9, 2017, I lost my brother and my best friend. He left at the age of 29. After a series of crashes and sorrows, I learned an important lesson in my life: don't wait. Every day of life is a gift.
I think I will never come out of the pain of losing him, but I will walk through the rest of my life with the courage and love he has given me, and I hope that Holly's family will also find strength and courage in her last words, Her words also inspired many strangers to live bravely. "
Many more have been inspired by Holly, and with the help of his close friend Luke, a donation in the name of commemorating Holly is also in operation to help patients with Ewing's sarcoma like Holly.
Finally, as Holly put it in his letter, "every day is a gift from heaven, not something that we deserve for granted." May every minute be full of meaning in the days to come.
