How Much Time Do We Have Left?

This is a heavy question that crossed my mind recently. My cousin (from my mom's side) passed away a week ago. She was not even 50 years old yet. She got married probably less than 10 years ago. She had no kids of her own. Her death was sudden (at least for me).

She was a kind soul but sort of a drifter. She has big ideas, loved giving advices and motivation to other but didn't get to accomplish much on her own. I'm not sure where it went wrong but I do hope she was happy and made her love ones happy. Perhaps, at the end of the day, I just hope those who I left behind would say nice things about me. 

I hope they remember me fondly even though I rarely gave them any reason to think of me at all. I prefer to live my life my way. I have a very small circle of friends but I do keep my family close enough.

If I know how much time I have left in this world, would I act differently?
