The ultimate plot twist from beyond!

[xelipe]

Respect yourself enough to demand respect.

Love yourself enough to let yourself be loved.

Believe in yourself the same way you believe in others.

Owe it to yourself to not feel like you owe anything to anyone.

Caring for others starts with caring for yourself.

Stay strong to the outside world, but sensitive in your core.

Famous last words by my chemical romance (lyrics)

[thisismyideaofhumor]

It’s strange that most people never know or have time to process what their last words are. I think it would be cool if, in the vein of Soulmate AUs, your last words were written on your skin.

You’d probably have lots of swears and other exclamations, but just as many mundane things like “Whered I put the marker?” Or “See you Thursday.” People would spend a lot of time thinking about what this says about their death, of course. Maybe they live their lives reluctant to ask where markers are or schedule things on Thursday. Whenever they do say their words, they say it with a certain gravity, and their loved ones tense.

You could have paradoxes. Someone with a nonsensical string of last words might be asked what their last words are, and they’d read aloud “My jovial elephant legistrates immediately,” and then there’d be a moment’s pause as everyone wonders under what circumstances you would ever say this. And then in the silence, lightning strikes and the person dies. Where did the last words come from?

What if your last words were “I love you”? You would probably  avoid saying those exact words in order to prolong your life. Maybe you would say other phrases, like “You are dear to my heart,” or “I am so enamored with you.” Maybe you would tack on extra words at the end so that they aren’t your last words, like “I love you, you know?” or “I love you, you dork.” Or maybe you would forgo expressing affection at all, until you say the words for the last time and realize you wish you had said them more.
