pennies for your thoughts.. (=

A borrowed translation from the beginning of one of my favorite dramas.

We are all dying from the moment we were born. On a starry night, I would like to ask my lover one day who is waiting for me in the other world. "Are you happy now? Do you want to live or die?" The abyss between life and death is narrower than the 50cm width of a fence. The instant you jump across-- it is like a shooting star falling through the crack of a building. Until then I am only an idle spectator of my own life. That may be why I was chosen by fate.

Why is it that people only realize things after it is already too late? One's time in life is under the control of "God."

I was neither happy nor sad. Life's true joys and sorrows were just passing me by. At that time, I was still... yes I can only say this now... it was then that my life had started, when the biological clock in my body started ticking.
