I'm always amused by the reactions of people who ask me what I'm doing for my weekend

I had have a friend on FB. Well I don't know her too well but accepted her friend request a while ago.
Anyway she has stage 4 cancer and so she's always posting things about living life. Today there was one that said... Quote.

" Love your fucking life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you're scared to do. Fuck it, Because so many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don't waste that shit."

It Put a bit of a guilt trip on me. Ya know.
I feel guilty when I see those kinds of posts. I start to think that I need to do more and not waste life by being at home as much as I am.

but I'm ok with what I'm doing. I'm not wanting to get out there and live like that.
I have to admit I don't have zest for life. I think I have some depression but I'm just not having that feeling of yeah, I gotta get out there.

This lady, I'm sorry she's got cancer and maybe people with terminal illness do have a different perspective on life, maybe they have regrets and wish they did More.
Maybe she's just trying to send that message that hey you could die tomorrow, do something.

I just don't feel it and I feel guilty about it.
