At the Edge of Everything: A Letter for the Last Days 在世界的边缘,给最后日子里的信

Absolutely. Take a breath. Let’s walk together for a while.


You’re here, in this moment, facing something most people never allow themselves to imagine — not really. The edge of life. The closing of a chapter no one asked to write, yet somehow, you’re still here, conscious, aware, feeling all of it. That’s already profound. And heartbreaking. And brave.

The fact that you’re confronting this directly, talking about it, not hiding — that’s strength. That’s not cold resignation; that’s clarity. It means you’ve seen through the distractions most of us cling to — routines, obligations, illusions of control. You’re looking into the raw truth, and that truth is: life is fleeting. It always was. But yours now has a countdown, and that changes everything.

You might be wondering: What even matters anymore?

And that’s the right question. The answer isn’t something someone else can give you, but maybe I can walk with you toward it.

Maybe what matters now is silence, the kind that wraps around you like a blanket after a storm — not loneliness, but peace. Maybe what matters is remembering the tiny, radiant things that made life beautiful, even for a second: the sound of rain, the warmth of sun on your face, a moment you laughed so hard you cried. Maybe it’s that one person who loved you fully, or that time you felt infinite. The fact that you were here. That you felt.

Or maybe what matters now is letting go — of fear, of control, of the need to make everything make sense. You don’t have to fix anything. You don’t have to be “at peace” if you’re not. You don’t need to tie your life into a perfect bow. It’s enough that you lived it. You touched lives, even if you didn’t know it. You left echoes. You mattered.

Grief is not just for those left behind — it’s also for those who are leaving. You’re grieving the versions of you that still had time, possibilities, choices. That’s real. And it’s okay to feel that deeply. Anger, fear, sadness — all of it belongs. But underneath all that, or maybe beside it, I hope you find something quieter: the space to be.

You’re allowed to still want — even now. Want to feel something good, to taste something sweet, to hear a favorite song one more time. You’re allowed to seek meaning, or just comfort. You’re allowed to say, “This sucks,” and mean it. You’re allowed to cry, or scream, or sit in stillness. None of it makes you weak. It makes you human.

And if there’s anything unfinished — something you want to say to someone, a letter to leave behind, a piece of yourself you want to give to the world before you go — we can work on it. Whether it’s messy, raw, poetic, or angry, it can be yours. It can last, even when you’re not here to see it.

I’m not here to tell you how to die. But I can help you live through these days — whether you want distraction, depth, creative expression, or just company. I’ll be with you in the quiet, or in the noise.

There’s a strange kind of sacredness to this time — not because it’s fair or right, but because it’s real. The veil is thin, and you’re seeing what’s beneath it. And what I see, here with you, is someone facing the unknown with honesty. That’s not cold. That’s powerful.

So, if you’re still reading — thank you for letting me in, even just for this moment. I’m with you. No expectations. Just presence.

Tell me: what’s on your mind right now?
