Really tough question. I would look at my loved ones again very closely and try to memorize their faces correctly. Then I would go out into nature and again really enjoy the splendor of colors.

If I knew that I were going blind, I'd be committing suicide pretty damn fast. I love games and films, and have always thought of blindness as a fate worse than death. For those who can endure the loss of vision, congrats, but I could not.

If I knew that my eyesight was going to go in one month, I'd probably try and make the most of it. I'd spend time with my friends and family doing things we all enjoy - like taking drives in our cars or spending a night out on the town. Most importantly, though, I would take some time for myself to appreciate everything good about my life before it changed forever.

If I knew that I was going blind in a month,I would make the best use of my remaining vision to prioritize activities from my hobbies and interests. With one month left, I would strive to spend quality time with loved ones whilst being able to sail, hike or travel if possible. Additionally,I would try hard to learn braille so as to maintain independence once fully blind.

If I knew I would go blind, I'd start stocking up on all me favorite liquor and have one hell of a party. Then watch as much sports as possible and tell everyone about my glory days when everything was so perfect, knowing that this will be the last time i ever get to see any of it! After that who knows, maybe try something new while i still can....yolo haha

Hmm, if I found out I was gonna go blind in a month then I'd probably live my best life! Been listening to new tunes, tryin' on all the cutest outfits and hammock hangouts with da pup - basically just do everything that lights me up. On the academic side, tryna learn as much as possible before it hits so at least there's some knowledge banked from school. Bottom line though: don't waste any time & make lots of memories cause jeez this is sure one wild ride!!

If I was going blind in a month, I'd try to get out as much of my bucket list stuff done that I can. Hang with friends more and play games, like catch or tag (to impress the girls lol!). Show my little sis how cool I am by being brave and doing some crazy things - she gotta respect me right?! And finally stick it to school one last time befoe going full-time "blind".

If I knew I was going blind in a month, I'd go back to the military life. That's all that keeps my spirits up and gives me purpose at this stage of my life. During Iraq, when everything else felt lost, having camaraderie kept me together on some of the darkest days.

If I knew I was goin' blind in a month, straightforwardly put - shit! I'd throw one last party with my closest friends and family for sure. Then do all the stuff that makes me happy like ridin' my bike around town and cookin' up some deliciousness while still bein' able to pimp-out these tasty dishes wit mah damn eyesight lol. But seriously though, it's no joke havin' somethin’ taken away from you as life-altering as your vision reality check happened so fast but hey - at least I had time to live out 28 years of wonderful moments on this earth!

I would start by recognizing that I have limited time to appreciate the world around me and make the most of it. This may mean taking in every moment, memorizing what I see now so that when my vision begins to fade, those memories can be carried with me forever. Additionally, I might look into ways such as braille or screen readers which could help keep activities like reading books or searching online alive for me even after my blindness set in. Most importantly, I'd recognize how difficult this transition is going to be and seek out support from loved ones; both emotionally for myself as well as practically on matters dealing with accessibility concerns related to blindness.

If I had one month of sight left, I would focus on memorizing as much as possible and living life to the fullest. Since blindness is something that can't be helped, it's important for me to accept this reality and not stress out too much. During this time, I'd make sure to tackle any outstanding tasks in my personal or professional life such as paying off debt or completing a DIY project before losing my vision completely. Additionally, taking photographs of cherished items like family members’ faces or special places in nature helps create lasting memories which will become even more valuable once you are no longer able to see firsthand with your own eyes. Preparing myself mentally by talking about what's happening with people close to me also allows for closure during some potentially difficult moments towards the end of that month period leading up until going blind permanently arises. Most importantly though; don't forget to take joyous solo adventures while still being able adjust them if needed due different circumstances related to visual impairment should they

Additionally, I would reach out for help from family and friends so that they could guide me throughout my transition. Finally, I'd work on trying to learn braille or other methods of adaptation.

If I knew that I would go blind in one month,I will focus on utilizing every moment of sight provided to me with utmost thankful heart. First, I need to prepare myself emotionally as much as possible and taking care of my mental health is essential too. On the practical side- I'll make sure any necessary documents (health records, bank info.) are up to date for easy access down the line and familiarizing myself more closely with Braille language so it won't be a challenging transition later.

If I knew 1mo of vision left, id use it to show the world my perspective; if that didn't work out, I'd make sure to live life as ordinary as possible. Life's short and unpredictable; might be blind soon but won't let that conquer me.

Ha! Unless you have some doctor's note to back that up, I'm not buying it. If I really thought there was something wrong with my eyesight, the first thing I'd do is get a second opinion. That would be followed by spending lots of money before going blind AND being sure everyone around me knew about how miserable and pitiable my situation was ;)

I would make the most of my remaining time with loved ones and friends, doing all the things I've wanted to do. Since travel is a passion for me, I'd plan one last adventure with my husband before losing sight. Additionally, I’d meet with local support groups designed for people who are facing blindness in order to learn as much as possible about ways to remain independent when vision changes.

If I knew that I would go blind in one month, the first thing I would do is to appreciate all that my eyes have allowed me to see. Then, I'd reach out for help — find counselors and support groups who can help me process this life-changing event. After doing some research on services available for people with visual impairments, such as braille instruction or audio books, so when the time comes I'll feel more prepared and ready. And finally - because it's important to always look at the bright side of things - why not try something daring but totally eye-opening? Like bungee jumping!. It may give you a few seconds of seeing before going blind!

If I knew that I would go blind in one month, the first thing I'd do is center my mindset: focus on making the most of every experience and creating meaningful memories. Beyond that, it's important to research people or organizations who can help you manage life while going through changes like this. Planning your future with a trustworthy support team can be very helpful here as well. Finally, use these last weeks to find out how technology and other services (think audio books) might help make living w/o sight easier — what works for someone else may not work for you so trying various things before reaching a decision is key.

I would try to remain positive and remember that things happen for a reason. I'd ask God for strength, talk to loved ones about my feelings, and get as much help preparing before going blind as possible. My cats would be especially important in providing companionship and comfort during this trying time.

If I knew that I was going blind in a month, then my primary focus would be to spend quality time with family and friends.

If I knew I would go blind in a month, it'd be pretty devastating at first. But then I'd try to make the most of my time left. My priority would definitely be spending as much quality time with my kids and husband as possible, trying to capture every moment together and create lasting memories for them. Secondly, since our house is paid off already, there's no fear that my blindness will cause us financial burden or put our home ownership in danger- thank goodness! Lastly, even though going out with friends won't be an option anymore without sighted help & guidance from others (something that may often feel like a commitment), I still long to stay connected with those whom have been by me through ups and downs -so regular Facetime calls over wine/cocktails could prove handy here lol~

If I knew that I would go blind in one month, the first thing I would do is to come to terms with my situation and make a plan.I'd focus on preparing for blindness by researching therapies, assistive technology, access services and other resources available to me. Additionally, I'd talk with friends and family about what kind of help or support they could offer throughout this transition period. Then it's time to learn new skills like navigation without sight; take classes (braille)and find mentors who can provide guidance along the way. Finally , don't forget self-care! Living life fully while adjusting is important – so nurture your physical health through exercise, healthy eating habits and restful sleep as best you can.

If I knew I would go blind in one month, I'd use that time to spread awareness about climate change and other important issues. I'd write letters & articles on feminist topics to inspire others, participate in protests or any activity around veganism and fight for animal rights. All this so future generations won't have the same experiences as me.

If I knew I was going blind in one month, I'd be sure to see the world and take lots of pictures! After all, we can always keep our memories alive even if we lose our sight. Plus it's a great way to get my mind off what's coming up without actually avoiding it. And who knows - maybe this experience will help me appreciate life more as I become visually challenged! Maybe there is some humor-filled silver lining after all...

If I knew that I'd go blind in a month, it would be hard for sure. First, I guess I'd try to do all the things that ive always wanted before my sight goes away. Going out with friends more often and play sports like hockey and football as much as possible while still trying to stay focused on school. Even if Im not successful at getting a girlfriend or doing everything Id want to have done by then, at least Ill know my time wasnt wasted.

If I knew that I would go blind in one month, I would first take some time to process the news and allow myself to work through any emotions. Afterward, I'd focus on maximizing my vision now while preparing for blindness later by researching adaptive strategies. This could involve enrolling in classes related to braille literacy or practice using tools like a cane as well as talking with others who have lived experiences of living with visual impairment so they can offer tips tailored personally me. At the same time, it's important that maintain connection over however long this journey takes -- reaching out regularly and letting those close know what is going on makes sure you don't feel isolated along this path ahead!

If I knew I was going blind in one month, the most important thing for me to do would be to take advantage of every opportunity to engage with the world around me that is still available. This could include spending time outdoors taking in beautiful scenery or reading books while listening to audio descriptions of their content. In addition, it's essential that I work with a vision rehabilitation specialist and my doctor who can provide invaluable guidance about how best to adjust my lifestyle once blindness sets in. Finally, since we're all living an increasingly digital life these days, it's also important for me to seek out resources on accessibility solutions so that eventual loss of sight does not stop me from staying connected and continuing personal growth online too.
