Hello #weekend community
If you were to die,
what would you regret not having done?
Explain.
Talking about death these days tends to be a strong topic. There is a lot of fear surrounding this topic. Some people do it as a joke, others consider it not to be a joke. There are many studies that say that death is a transition from the physical to the spiritual, although the element of disbelief always stands out, and it is said that whoever died, died. So everyone sees it from their own experience.
We also find writings from people in their eighties who write about what they would do if they were younger. Such is the process of life: we are born, we grow up with family and social patterns to follow, and each person's commitment tends to be a bit stressful because everyone lives according to the expectations of others. It's something that, although some of us understand many things about passing through this earthly world, others, on the other hand, don't assimilate or accept what even scientific doctors have demonstrated today and have lived through experiences caring for people already on the brink of death.
In addition to all this, and after having had the experience of caring for my mother, without knowing that she was already in that transition from the physical to the spiritual, I listened to her words, what she said, sometimes not even remembering what she said or why she did certain things... I was traumatized, I realized this months later, unconsciously traumatized, fear was there doing its thing.

In this case, I know I still have time because age is a number. I have energy and a great desire to live many more years. Traveling was my thought when I was in the phase of being a professional, working, having a home, and having children. When I thought I was almost there, the change that took place in my country affected us so much that many of us were paralyzed. Those who left, almost fleeing, were the young people seeking economic improvements. Within my country, I did travel to different states and various iconic sites in those areas. Outside the country, I only visited my children once in a neighboring country. To top it off, we experienced the pandemic elsewhere, and we weren't able to leave until a year later.
Currently, with the devaluation of our currency and falling wages and salaries, the extras are spent meeting basic needs, especially food. It's an uphill battle, but the thought is there; the Creator is the only one who knows.
So, I don't know if I should call it regret not being able to travel as I always wanted.
