‘A year to live’ is a year long ‘experiment’ that writer Stephen Levine thought up. I read it done by his son in ‘Dharma Punx’ and just got so inspired. I don’t know when I will do this, but I must. I know it will take a lot out of me to live a year as if it truly were my last. Just to realise that people you meet and places you go, you may never see again would have a profound effect. To let down your barriers so that you truly let people know what effect they’ve had on you would be hard because I take things for granted. I think this will make my relationships vibrant, but also may scare some people. I mean, someone I’ve just met, if I honestly thought I wasn’t going to see them again because I was going to die in a year, I’d probably say something I usually don’t, like “you’re a great person. I respect you and hope that you acheive all you want to.” – they might think I’m slightly kooky, but then again, if I were going to die in a year, would it even matter what people think? Well yes, since I won’t really by dying as such. I think I’d have to get it into my head that even though this is an excercise, it is also very real and I may not endure a physical death, but definetely something more mental.
If that makes any sense.

Want to do this because I don’t know enough about it, and I’m hoping to do archaeology here (at least to begin with after my degree) and I’d like to be one of those people who just know stuff off the top of their heads.
