Transition, that is the state I am in right now. It's my third year in college. I am trying to find out where I want to go on the career path I've chosen. I just ended a two year long relationship and my sister moved to California. It is like the two people who were there for me constantly are there any longer. Although, I chose to end my relationship it is still strange to go about my days without a constant someone to talk to. My sister moving to California made things a lot tougher on me as well. She is no longer living with me or just a drive away, she is all the way across the country. I did not realize until after she had gone how big of a part she actually played in my life and how much a leaned on her when I needed someone. Whether it was the advice she gave me or the consistent companionship I shared with her, it is different now and I am getting used to that.
In terms of where I am at now in my life I think t I would want to see is my sister in my last moments alive. She is the one person I've shared absolutely everything and who I have experienced the most with in our lives. She was and is there for me through thick and thin and I would want her to know how very special she is to me regardless of how many times we've argued or disagreed. She has always been my strong side and my better half. I would want her to hold on to my last words and remember them so she would know how dear she really is to me. However, in terms of the absolute, last person I'd ever want to see in my last moments in life, that is if they were to occur in the near future, would be the boy I recently broke up with. This is not because of hatred or anything like that but because I would not want to make backwards progress after all the time that has passed. I have moved on and am happier now so I wouldn't want to put myself in a place of confusion and most likely sadness in my last moments.
I like that repeated 'I would want'--those repetitions are effective in focusing the reader's attention. And then come the 'I would not want' when you refer to the ex-bf--that too is very effective in setting up the contrast between your feelings about these two people.
