I wouldn't want to live forever, so I wouldn't be happy if I knew I'd live forever. However, I think I'd mostly go on with my life the way it is and keep trying to live each day like it was my last. It takes courage to live each day like it's your last. If this were really my last day in the world, I'd want to be in the mountains of Colorado surrounded by nature and people I love. But I don't ever want to put something off until it's too late, the way I see people around me putting things off.   They get in relationships they're not happy in, but they never break those relationships off--even if they've tried to make them better and couldn't do it. That makes me sad. People need to learn to move on. I guess that's one of the hardest lessons to learn, because it makes it seem like nothing really matters if you can get over losing important things. Still, the term "ball and chain" should never be an accurate metaphor for someone in your life.

Living forever? I'm having a tough enough time just living for today. I can't image that life would even have much value if it lasted forever. It would be interesting though to travel back and forth through time to see how things were and will be. Adding time to my biological clock, that only feels like a big old lump in my stomach.

I'd probably spend the next 10 years or so living more in the moment and less in the future. Right now, I'm committed to go to school for the next 3 years with the expectation that it will make me better at what I do over the course of my limited lifetime. If my lifetime were infinate, I'd do more just-in-time learning.

If I was to live forever I'd be much more reckless and nasty. . . . I'd feel liberated by the lack of ultimate consequence. . .

My ability to hate. It's the thing about myself that I'm least proud of. This world is so damn beautiful, yet often I ignore the beauty and focus on the pain. Or, instead, merely focus on me.

Forever is a very long time and the hypothesis is improbably. Part of  the nature of being human is accepting the limits of space and time and creating withing them. Just as a fish can't visualize water, I find it impossible to define myself without time strictures.

If you knew you were to live forever what would you change about your life? I'd eat healthier and walk every day.

If I could live forever, goddess forbid, I'd like to at least have better health.

If I knew I would live forever, I would worry less about frivolous crap, and try to enjoy life, and not worry about everything. Also, I'd worry less about what people though of me. Beside, I wouldn't want to live forever.

First I'd do a bunch of things that would probably kill me, if I wasn't immortal. After that, I'd just live until I was bored, then devote my life to finding a way to kill myself.
