On the week of his twenty-first anniversary, N. was faced with an astounding fact: he didn’t know how to enjoy life. So many years, so many days, so much time, all overlooked, just like a blank sheet of paper on which no pen has ever dared to venture.
Terrified by such observation, N. decided it was time to act. He grabbed a pen and a notebook and locked himself in his room with the mission of not leaving it before elaborating a powerful strategy to enjoy his life. N. didn’t want to spend the next years of his life the same way he spent his last 21: apathetic, aloof and unable to live every moment intensely.
During the seven days he remained locked in his room, N. established a set of goals for his life: trips to make, parties to go, friends to meet, foods to try, movies to watch and loves to declare… He was already tired of spending his life as if he could afford to live in a mediocre way.
After many nights up, N. finished his job on the morning of his birthday. He was exhausted, but all those days of confinement were worth it. N. could finally live without any fear of making the same mistakes of the past. His set of goals was irreproachable and he was determined to finally start enjoying life.
N. happily left his house on that sunny morning in order to meet his friends and start his new life. As soon as he stepped on the street, he was hit by a beer truck and passed away a few minutes later, just next to the curb. The truck driver carried on without providing any help. He was in a hurry to deliver an order at the house of N.’s mother, who was preparing him a surprise party for his birthday.
