Since I was a teenager, I have lived my life with the philosophy of 'I want to look back when I am on my death bed and think that I have lived a full life'. Indeed, I have filled my life with so many things throughout my twenties and I am happy for all of it and proud of a lot of it. Coming to thirty, I am starting to realise that there are so many things you can 'fill' your life with, and yet people who fill their lives can still look back at the emptiness they didn't see.
People die wishing they had filled their life by seeing more of the world's places; they die wishing they had filled their life with more time with the ones they loved; as the cliche goes, they may not die thinking about riches, but they may wish they had filled the bank accounts of their children, or supported their own funeral. Even far before death, some people regret not filling their life with more meaning, and some regret not filling it with more fun.
