If I Could Buy Immortality, Here’s Why I Would.

Good morning everyone let's discuss on hivenaijaweekly prompt about immortality.
If immortality could be bought, I think I would actually consider getting it. Not because I am scared of dying, and not because I want to live forever just for the sake of it. My reason is much simpler. Life feels too short. There is so much I want to do, so much I want to learn, so many places I want to go, and so many versions of myself I still want to explore. Sometimes I feel like I am only just beginning to understand what it means to be alive, and time already feels like it is running away from me.

We grow up hearing things like “life is short” or “make the most of your time,” and the older I get, the more real that becomes. You spend years in school, then a big part of your life trying to figure out who you are, chasing dreams, making mistakes, starting again, building relationships, fixing broken ones, learning, unlearning then you blink and half your life is already gone. It feels like just when you are beginning to get the hang of things, the clock starts ticking louder. That is why I would buy immortality. Not to run away from death, but to stretch life out so I can really live it.

I want time to experience different lives within my one life. I want to live long enough to master a craft, then leave it and try something completely different. I want to be a writer, a photographer, a teacher, a traveler, a farmer, maybe even a musician. I want to take my time with each season, not rush through everything because I am racing against time. With immortality, I could slow down and still have space to dream big.

There are languages I want to learn, cultures I want to understand, people I want to meet, and futures I want to witness. I want to see what becomes of humanity. How we evolve, how technology changes us, how we handle climate change, how we grow politically, emotionally, and spiritually. I want to be there when things get better. Or at least try to help make them better.

Immortality would give me the chance to keep growing. Not just in knowledge, but as a person. Every time life throws something at you whether it is love, loss, failure, or joy you grow a little. You learn something. Imagine how much wiser, kinder, and more thoughtful you could become if you had endless time to keep learning those lessons. To be honest, I feel like the more I live, the more I realize how little I know. Immortality could give me the chance to keep going, to keep becoming.

Some people say life only has meaning because it ends. I get that. I really do. But I think meaning also comes from what you do with your time, not just how much of it you have. And if I had more time, I would fill it with all the things that make life beautiful deep conversations, quiet sunsets, music, art, discovery, growth, and connection.

Yes, immortality might come with challenges. Watching people you love grow old and pass away. Feeling out of place in a world that keeps changing. Carrying the weight of memory. But even with those hard parts, I think I would still choose it. Because for me, the idea of having more life to live, more space to create and explore, feels worth it.
