"We tend to think about time as a sequence of equal periods. One hour, two hours, three hours… But we’ve got it all wrong. It’s like thinking that a box full of jewels is worth as much as a box full of mud just because these boxes look the same. With time, it’s not about how long a period is, it’s about what you fill it with. An hour spent on productive work you love means much more to you than a dull day you can’t remember next morning. Now imaging what your life would be like if you were to fill its every moment with actions that mean something for you."

my doctor: “so do you have a boyfriend?”

me: “nope.”

doctor: “why not?!”

doctor: “just remember, no one’s perfect.”

THIS AWESOME URN WILL TURN YOU INTO A TREE AFTER YOU DIE
BigThink:

You don’t find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be). However, Spanish designer Martin Azua has combined the romantic notion of life after death with an eco solution to the dirty business of the actual, you know, transition.
His Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on what kind of planting space you prefer.
