Halfway through

I am halfway through the preliminary practical exams.
I am halfway through my current part time degree course.
I am halfway through completing my assignments.
I am halfway through my friends.
I am halfway through my life.

I wish I was more done with my life. I know I don't want to live beyond 40. So I have 17 more years to prepare myself. But I don't need to. I have been preparing to die since the day I realised death is the opposite of life. In death we find solace, but our unconscious state of mind has already found that solace in life.
