I hope I have something cool or profound to say on my deathbed, but I am neither a cool nor profound person. My last words'll probably be something along the lines of, "FFFFUUUUU--"
To paraphrase Marx, "Last words are for fools who haven't said enough in life." But realistically I'd probably exhort my loved ones to live life to the fullest. Something like that.
Mine would be a variant of mammamaia's. I'd probably just say "Thanks." Not to who or whatever killed me, but to the universe for the chance to be here for a while.
I can honestly say I've thought of this many times. It is definitely not something a young person like myself should be thinking about, but my imagination and never ending thoughts won't allow me to stop. This is a very important topic to me, and I've thought over and over what my very last words would be. Although I have yet to find those exact words, I can imagine those words to be just as touching as my writing. People had always told me I have a way with words, and on that day when I speak my last, I want them to be remembered and engraved in their minds forever. I know it's only smart to let someone go once they die, and move on, but that's not what I want necessarily. I don't want them mourning over me forever, but I do want them to remember my last words forever. I just want those words to be just as important and meaningful as my writing has always been. Kudos to you Gracia Bee for bringing up such a topic. Topics such as this can always make wondering minds wonder. I love things that make you think, and for a good while too. Rep pts. given. : )
I want something that they will always wonder about (whoever "they" are...). I especially LOVE the gravity one by nadir and the notebook one by Quezacotl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might steal one of yours if i die tonaight...
Yea, the awkward moment when you don't die just yet and people are waiting for you to finish the sentance
All of these are really good especially Rosebud! Over the hedge is awesome! But truthfully if people I loved dearly were around me it would be "Don't cry for me" or if it was people I know but didn't really care for it would be, "What a waste of my time" or maybe, "Finally!" very dramatically. Or if i was around people I hate I would say, "See you in hell...from heaven!"
Don't worry, it isn't loaded. See? * (actually, very close to the final words of guitarist Terry Kath of the group Chicago)
PPPFFFFFFFF That's terribly hilarious. "Hey guys, wouldn't it be funny if I got struck by lightning the second I walked out this door?"
If my loved ones were around it would be, as in life, "I love you to infinity." If, however, there were people around that were judging me on my last words, I'd have to really step it up. I'll have to think on it...
I'll be surprised if I don't die from a horribly violent yet completely avoidable car accident, considering what a crap driver I am and how often I have to drive. So I imagine those last words would be, "Oh shit!" or something of the like. I've never gotten the fascination with last words? They are amusing or poignant... but should you really plan your own? I thought the whole thing about last words was the desire to leave someone with something important to share, but if you've thought them out, why hold on to them, particularly if they are sentimental? Just share them now.
