I Want to Live Forever

Many people that I know have told  me that they want to die one day in future before they get too old.* They said that they don't want to be a burden on anyone. When you become elderly, you will most likely lose your ability to move and sometimes, you may even lose your mind. But imagine that when you are eighty or ninety and-voila!-you are perfectly healthy!** I think that if that happens, then life could be wonderful. There will be many things to enjoy and a lot of marvelous and fascinating things to do that can possibly make you happy. These are the reasons why I want to live forever. So, I am going to speak with my Maker to ask him for eternal health.***

Hi Inma. Good job. Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound better to my native ears. I hope that this helps you. J.

*We will all die, period, in the future, but wanting to die before we become helpless is another matter. My change reflects that difference.

**In English, we use “Voila!” for what a magician would say as he makes the rabbit appear or disappear, so I used it instead of “tachaaan” which probably means the same or similar, no?

 ***Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Without my family and friends, life would be meaningless. I would be living among strangers, couldn’t relate to them and vice-versa, etc. On the other hand though, it might be easier to find a younger woman! (*-^)
