"He is smiling in this picture, and there is no mistaking the look in his eyes. Chris McCandless was at peace, serene as a monk gone to God." (Krakauer 199).
Topic: Inspiration or Fool
At the time of my death I pray I have no regrets. Chris/Alex no matter what you think about him (success or failure) you cannot deny the fact that Chris lived his life exactly how he wanted. Despite all the roadblocks and doubtful people Alex went to Alaska to live amongst the harshness of Mother Nature. During my last breaths I
want to look back upon all my years, all my experiences, all of the opportunities that skipped out on, all of my accomplishments, my family. Most off all I want to leave a legacy or inspire others. My grandchildren better see me as in OG. The thought of being old grandpa Nico scares me. I feel that I have lived so much but in reality I'm still so young and have so much ahead of me. Every morning is a new opportunity to reach goals. I hope I end up like Alex and do not wonder what could have been. Because my future will be the best future I could have possibly created for myself and loved ones around me.
