The first day of the rest of my life started with good news, i.e. my dermatologist told me that I was not going to die of skin cancer (or at least not now). Needless to say, this is a sine qua non for starting the rest of your life, because, after all, it would actually be impossible to have the first day of the rest of your life without having a rest of a life to live.
On the first day of the rest of my life, I decided to take things easy and enjoy the moment. Whereever I went today, I tried to walk slowly and consciously, savouring every minute, even the minutes I had to wait for public transport. Because clearly, when you are starting the rest of your life, you want not a single precious minute to pass you by.
On the first day of the rest of my life, I went to see my analyst, and found out that what I was most scared of was to die alone. Hence my wish for a baby. Needless to say, I am not going to go and get knocked up by the first passer-by, because, after all, when the rest of your life just started, you don't want to blindfoldly rush into things.
On the first day of the rest of my life, I went shopping because I figured that when you've just found out you've got the rest of your life to live, this is clearly not the day to be frugal. Also, you want to be well dressed for the rest of your life, and wear shiny brown cowboy-like boots.
On the first day of the rest of my life, I cooked myself a delicious dinner, because I thought it a good idea to be a bit more hedonistic for the rest of the life ahead of me.
On the first day of the rest of my life, I called my friends who I had been worrying over the weekend and told them that today was the first day of the rest of my life, because clearly, when you've just started the rest of your life, you want people dear to you to be part of it.
On the first day of the rest of my life, I vowed never to google any medical conditions or symptoms again, because, obviously, you don't want to spend the rest of your life worrying about death.
