Entry 1: After the Last Page

I finished his journal.

"Our Forever."

I was still in the hospital when I read the last page, still hooked to machines, still feeling like my story was already over.

I remember what I said that day.

"I wanna live like Scozza."

I didn't even know what I meant at the time, But now I know.

Scozza didn't beg for pity. He didn't ask to be remembered.

He just lived, knowing how it'll all end.

I keep rereading that last line.

"I used it well."

It's haunting. But not in a sad way.

It's more like… peaceful. Final. And almost sacred.

He died, and that made me somehow .. feel more alive.

Entry 2: First Step

I got out of bed today.

I didn't even think about it. I just .. stood up, and walked to the balcony.

The nurse looked at me like I grew wings, Maybe I did.

I watched the sunlight through the window and remembered how Scozza said time was gold.

I always treated time like lint. Something I could just brush off and ignore.

But today, for five full minutes, I was golden.

Entry 3: Someday

I don't know how much time I have.

No one really does, I guess.

But Scozza had a clock in his chest, and he still found room for laughter, love, and lemonade stands.

Maybe I can do that too.

Maybe one day, someone will read this the way I read his words.

And maybe they'll live like me.

The way I'm learning to live…

like Scozza.
