Memory Reel

You know how everyone says that as you die your life flashes before you eyes? When you see everything that you ever did or everyone that you ever met?

Well, would you be proud of yourself?

Would you be proud of everything good that you have done? True, you may had done some stupid things, but the great and wonderful things that you have done overpowered the few stupid things. And did you accomplish everything that you always wanted to do: meet someone, get a job you love, have a beautiful family.

Or…

Or are you watching the memory reel with a knowledge of how you had seemed to fail yourself, given up on everything you planned on. How you seemed to not try hard enough in your life, therefore not getting where you had planned to be when you were 5 or 6. You didn’t speak to that girl you loved in chemistry and then she flew out of your grasp, just like that. Or you even got hooked on to gambling or drugs, making you ashamed of yourself.

So? What will it be for you when the memory reel comes?
