We all want to spend our life in a way that brings us peace, purpose, and happiness.
For me, life should be spent learning new things, make craft , helping others, and making memories with family and friends.
I like to spend my time doing useful work, serving society, and staying healthy in body and mind fir that I Cook.
Life is short, so we should spend it with kindness, honesty, and by chasing our dreams instead of wasting time on negativity.
At the end, the best way to spend life is to live with purpose and leave the world a little better than we found it.

00:00At the engagement party, my fiancé locked me inside a freezer to sober up.
00:04His childhood sweetheart simply smiled.
00:07It was just one night in the cold.
00:09She didn't die, did she?
00:11I looked at the man who once promised to love me for a lifetime.
00:14He said nothing.
00:15At that moment, it all became clear to me.
00:21Norman, let's break up.
00:25By the time they dragged me out of the freezer, it was already morning.
00:30Hey, you're still alive?
00:32You lost the bet, Louis.
00:34Told you she's hard to kill.
00:39Her face is so purple, she looks like an eggplant.
00:43Someone scap a pic and post it to their feed.
00:48I tried to stand, but my knees gave out, and I dropped right back to the ground.
00:53My hands pressed against the icy concrete,
00:55and the frostbite made them feel like they were being stabbed with needles.
00:59Move aside.
01:04Amy, don't be upset.
01:06Serena's just being playful.
01:08You know what she's like.
01:09Norman was dressed in a light gray Kargamir coat and a crisp shirt underneath.
01:13His collar was inaculately neat.
01:15He'd just stepped out from the warmth inside,
01:17his cheek still bearing a healthy flush.
01:19All I had on was last night's thin satin dress,
01:22frozen solid against my skin.
01:27Just a joke?
01:30Yeah, that's right.
01:32She saw you had a few drinks last night.
01:34Your cheeks were flushed, so she thought you needed to cool down.
01:39Who would have thought you'd actually spend the whole night in there?
01:41His fingers grazed my earlobe.
01:43The icy sensation sent a jolt through my whole body.
01:48Your hands are ice cold.
01:49You must be frozen.
01:51Come on, let's get you inside and warm you up.
01:54Norman,
01:55you locked the freezer from the outside.
02:02I was worried you'd wake up drunk in the middle of the night and run off.
02:05Out here in the middle of nowhere, it's dangerous for a girl to be alone.
02:09He said it like it was nothing.
02:11You really keep your wife on a tight leash.
02:13That's just adding some spice to things, you know?
02:17Yeah, Amelia, you're being way too serious.
02:19Serena's just blunt.
02:20She doesn't sweat the small stuff.
02:22It was Charles Carver, Norman's childhood friend.
02:25He was there last night, too,
02:26raising his glass and wishing us a lifetime of happiness.
02:30He lounged there with a cigarette hanging from his lips,
02:32wearing a cocky grin like nothing could bother him.
02:35Come on.
02:36Serena and Norman have been buddies for years.
02:38What's the big deal about a joke?
02:43Amelia, you're being way too petty for a fiancé.
02:46Lighten up, will you?
02:49All right, that's enough.
02:51Amy, how about I carry you inside?
02:54Look at you, your lips are so blue.
03:00Amelia, don't make me regret being good to you.
03:03He said it so quietly.
03:05Only I could hear it.
03:07But I caught it.
03:09I saw that flicker of irritation in his eyes.
03:12I noticed the tent line of his mouth.
03:14I knew those subtle cues all too well.
03:17Three years ago, when we first started dating,
03:19he'd always show those same signs whenever he was annoyed.
03:22But later, Norman learned to put on a mask.
03:24He mastered the art of saying harsh words in the softest tone.
03:27He learned to hurt me while acting like he cared.
03:34Norman!
03:34Serena headed straight for Norman and casually hooked her arm around his,
03:37like she'd done it a thousand times.
03:39So, Amy's okay, right?
03:43Whoa.
03:44Why is your face so purple?
03:46Sorry about last night, Amy.
03:47I was drunk and just talking nonsense.
03:51Who would have thought that stupid Norman would actually lock you in the freezer?
03:55Seriously, Norman, you actually believed everything I said?
03:58What if Amy had really gotten hurt in there?
04:01Wasn't this whole mess your crazy idea to begin with?
04:04And now you're pinning it on me?
04:06They were bantering like a couple, totally wrapped up in each other.
04:09Meanwhile, I was sprawled on the freezing ground,
04:12feeling like some awkward intruder.
04:13Amy, come on.
04:14Get up.
04:16Wow, you're really frozen.
04:18Why are you pretending to be so pathetic?
04:20So you spent one night freezing?
04:22What's the big deal?
04:23You're still alive.
04:25Come on.
04:26I'll help you inside.
04:28Auntie made some hot chocolate for you.
04:30She said it'll help chase away the cold.
04:35Amy!
04:37Don't touch me.
04:39Amelia, are you done with your drama?
04:41Serena said sorry, and I've already told you what happened.
04:44It was just a joke.
04:46Why are you making such a big deal out of it?
04:48The back of my head throbbed with pain, but I didn't reach for it.
04:52I just stared at Norman.
04:53I looked at Norman, the man I'd loved for three years,
04:56the one I thought I'd spend forever with.
04:58Norman Caldwell, it's 25 fell held, eight hours.
05:01You call this a joke?
05:03So what do you want?
05:04Want me to get down on my knees and beg for your forgiveness?
05:07Or maybe you want Serena to spend a night in the freezer too?
05:11Why are you being so unreasonable?
05:12Oh, Norman, listen to you.
05:15Amy would never do that to me.
05:18Amy, if you're really mad, just give me a couple of slaps.
05:21I swear I won't hit that.
05:22Amelia, go ahead and slap her.
05:24We're all watching.
05:25Yeah, if you don't, you're just being petty.
05:26The crowd kept hyping it up, their voices overlapping.
05:30All right, cut it out.
05:33Hey, I was just trying to help Amy let off some steam.
05:36Amy, have you cooled off yet?
05:38I didn't say a word.
05:40I slowly pushed myself up off the floor.
05:43My legs were still shaking from the cold,
05:45but I forced myself to stand tall.
05:47I brushed off imaginary dust from my skirt.
05:50The ring.
05:52What?
05:53The engagement ring.
05:55Here, take it back.
05:57What do you mean, Amelia?
05:59Just what I said.
06:01Amy, don't do this!
06:03Norman, talk to her!
06:05Try to stop her!
06:07Do you have to make things so ugly?
06:09His grip was painfully tight.
06:10His nails dug into my frostbitten skin.
06:13It hurt.
06:13But honestly, that pain was nothing.
06:15It couldn't even touch a fraction of what I went through in that freezer for eight hours.
06:19Norman, what were you doing last night
06:21while I was locked in there?
06:23You were drinking with Serena.
06:26Sitting on the couch.
06:27Drinking the bottle I got you for your birthday.
06:30That bottle of 82 LeVon.
06:32I saw it.
06:33Through the little window in the freezer,
06:35I watched you two toast.
06:37Saw her feeding you fruit.
06:38I saw you smile.
06:41Let me explain.
06:42No need to explain.
06:45We're done.
06:46The engagement is over.
06:50Amelia, stop right there!
06:52Don't, Amy!
06:53It's all my fault!
06:55Norman, go after her!
06:59Why do you look like this?
07:01Go wash up and take a hot shower.
07:03Don't catch a cold.
07:05Norman's mother, she made it sound so casual.
07:07Like I'd just been caught in a little rainstorm.
07:09Not like I just stared death in the face.
07:12Tracy?
07:13We're calling off the engagement.
07:16Amelia, do you know what you're saying?
07:18I know.
07:21I'll cover the cost of the engagement party.
07:23As for everything else,
07:25we're even now.
07:28Amelia, get down here!
07:30Norman, where the hell are you?
07:32Your fiancé is making a scene!
07:45Amelia, are you really going to push it this far?
07:54Open the door!
07:56Amelia, open up!
08:00I'd need to head out to a print shop if I wanted a hard copy.
08:03But right now, I could just fill it out online.
08:05Name, Amelia Dawson.
08:08ID number.
08:09I was just as metimulous as I had been three years ago
08:12when I filled out the marriage registration form.
08:14Amy, let's talk.
08:15Open the door.
08:16I'm sorry, okay?
08:17I'm apologizing for Serena and for myself.
08:19I went too far last night.
08:20It won't ever happen again, I promise.
08:22Please.
08:23His voice softened.
08:25That familiar gentleness always made me waver.
08:29If it had been before,
08:31if it had been just a day ago,
08:33I probably would have opened the door.
08:36I would have forgiven him.
08:38I would have told myself he just listened to Serena too much,
08:41that he never thought it would turn out like this.
08:44But now, things were different.
08:46Emergency contact, left empty,
08:49donation wish, every organ.
08:51My body would be used for medical research
08:53and finally, the signature.
08:56To sign electronically, I needed a stylus.
08:59Amy?
09:00Come on, say something.
09:01Don't freak me out, Amy.
09:11There wasn't much to pack.
09:12Just clothes, some makeup, and a few books.
09:14And all the gifts Norman had given me,
09:16I left them out on the bed.
09:22Inside, a date was engraved,
09:24the day of our first date, three years ago.
09:26Norman told me that once we got engaged,
09:29he'd swap it out for a diamond ring.
09:35It fell silently, without a trace.
09:38It was as if it had never existed.
09:44You're really leaving.
09:49Amelia, you're really breaking off the engagement
09:51just because of this?
09:52Do three years together really mean nothing to you?
09:54Norman, if I died in that freezer last night,
09:57what would you have done then?
10:01Would you have felt sad?
10:02Would you have regretted it?
10:03Or would you have raised a glass with Serena
10:05celebrating that you finally ditched your fiancé?
10:09See, you don't even care enough to lie to me.
10:13Amelia, you'd better think twice.
10:15Once you walk out that door,
10:16it's not going to be easy to come back.
10:19Tracy, your son locked me in a freezer
10:21that was 25 for heed.
10:22Do you really think I'd ever want to come back after that?
10:24Well, nothing actually happened, right?
10:27Look at you.
10:27You're perfectly fine.
10:28It was just a prank.
10:29Why are you taking it so seriously?
10:34Amelia!
10:36I messed up.
10:37I really did.
10:39Don't go.
10:40We're getting way married next month.
10:41I'll do whatever you say.
10:43I'll tell Serena to get lost.
10:44I swear I'll never see her again, okay?
10:47His hands were beautiful.
10:49Long fingers, clean.
10:50Nails perfectly trimmed.
10:51When I was sick,
10:53these hands would hold mine through the night.
10:55When I was feeling down,
10:56they'd gently rub my back to comfort me.
10:59These hands had just pulled me back
11:01from the edge of death,
11:02and now they were trying to drag me into hell
11:04all over again.
11:06Norman, let go.
11:08I'm not letting go.
11:09If you leave,
11:10you really won't ever come back.
11:11I know.
11:12I know I messed up.
11:13Amy, please.
11:14Just give me one more chance.
11:16Just one last time.
11:19Norman, you're holding me too tight.
11:22My frostbite still aches from the freezer.
11:29Amy, are you really leaving?
11:32It's all my fault.
11:33I shouldn't have run my mouth like that.
11:36If you leave,
11:37what's Norman supposed to do?
11:44Amelia Dawson!
11:46If you leave today,
11:47that's it for us.
11:48We're done!
11:49Norman,
11:50from the moment you shut me in that freezer,
11:53we were finished.
11:55I kept walking,
11:57steady and sure.
11:59Not once did I look back.
12:03Miss, are you okay?
12:05Why does your face look so purple?
12:07Got frostbite.
12:09Go on,
12:09hurry inside and warm yourself up.
12:12With weather like this,
12:13don't let the cold get to you.
12:18Hey, Amelia,
12:19you're back.
12:20You,
12:20your face.
12:21Allergic reaction.
12:28The place looked just like I'd left it three days ago.
12:31Finally,
12:32I could let myself fall apart.
12:34It hurt.
12:36But that was nothing compared to how much it hurt inside.
12:48I tossed the dress straight into the trash,
12:50along with every memory from last night.
12:52The heat on my frostbite skin felt like a thousand needles
12:56pricking me all at once.
12:57But I didn't bother to adjust the temperature
12:59until my skin turned red and started to sting.
13:02The blanket was soft,
13:03carrying a fresh, sun-dried scent.
13:06But I was still cold.
13:08A chill crept through the cracks of my bones.
13:10I curled up into a ball and closed my eyes.
13:13But the memories from last night
13:15kept flashing through my mind,
13:16again and again.
13:17When the metal door of the cold room slowly swung shut,
13:20I caught a fleeting glimpse of Norman's face
13:23through the narrowing gap.
13:24And then,
13:25everything went dark,
13:27pitch black.
13:28All I could hear was the low,
13:29steady hum of the freezer fan.
13:31The cold kept creeping in,
13:32the air growing chillier by the second.
13:35I started counting.
13:36By the time I hit a thousand,
13:38my fingers had gone completely numb.
13:40When I reached five thousand,
13:42my mind started to go fuzzy.
13:44I wanted to scream.
13:46But my voice wouldn't come out
13:48no matter how hard I tried.
13:50There was nothing left,
13:52just the sound of my own heartbeat in the silence.
13:54It was slowing down and getting fainter
13:56until even that was gone.
13:58There was only cold,
13:59boundless,
14:00endless cold.
14:02It felt like I was falling into a frozen pit.
14:05I kept sinking deeper and deeper.
14:07Then came dawn,
14:08and the door opened.
14:10The blinding light came in,
14:12and their laughter.
14:15It was 2 p.m.
14:17I'd only slept for four hours.
14:19But I couldn't fall asleep again,
14:21no matter what.
14:23I checked my temperature.
14:26101.3 FRA.
14:28As expected,
14:29I had a fever.
14:30I grabbed some fever meds from the medicine box
14:32and washed them down with cold water.
14:35Then I turned on my computer
14:37and logged on to the Red Cross website.
14:40I found the donation form
14:41I'd filled out earlier this morning.
14:43I printed it out.
14:45It needed my signature,
14:46plus two witnesses.
14:49After thinking it over,
14:50I dialed my best friend Hazel Shaw's number.
14:54It rang three times before she picked up.
14:57Amy?
14:58Why are you calling me at this hour?
14:59Aren't you supposed to be at the Caldwell family's...
15:02Hazel, can you come over to my place now?
15:06What's wrong?
15:08I'll tell you when you get here.
15:16What happened to your face?
15:18Did Norman hit you?
15:19It's from the cold.
15:20The cold?
15:21How could the cold do this to you?
15:24Last night at the engagement banquet,
15:26Norman threw me into the freezer.
15:29A freezer at minus 4 degrees?
15:32Yeah.
15:33Son of a bitch!
15:34Norman, that goddamn bastard!
15:37I'm fine.
15:38Just running a little fever.
15:39You call this fine?
15:42Amelia, go look in the mirror.
15:43Your face is bruised purple,
15:45and your lips are cracked and bleeding.
15:47You call this fine?
15:50I'm sorry.
15:52I should have been there with you last night.
15:54I should have gone.
15:57I never should have trusted that bastard Norman
15:59to treat you right.
16:01Hazel, I need a favor.
16:03Of course.
16:04What is it?
16:06I need you to be my witness.
16:10You're donating your body?
16:12Amelia, are you crazy?
16:13You're really gonna die because of that piece of trash?
16:16I'm not planning to die.
16:18I just figured if I really die someday,
16:21at least someone else could be saved.
16:24It's better than just rotting in the ground.
16:27Amy, don't do this to yourself.
16:29I'm scared.
16:30Scared of what?
16:31Scared I might do something drastic?
16:34Don't worry.
16:35I'm not gonna do anything stupid.
16:37Someone like Norman isn't worth it.
16:39Then why are you signing this?
16:40You're only 25.
16:41Why are you signing an organ donation form?
16:44Hazel,
16:46last night when I was locked freezer
16:48and thought I was about to die,
16:49something just clicked for me.
16:52To some people,
16:53my life is nothing but a bargaining chip
16:55to please someone else.
16:57It's just like a gift.
16:59You unwrap it,
17:00use it,
17:01and if you don't like it,
17:02you just throw it away.
17:04Or even worse,
17:06sometimes you don't even bother to open it,
17:08just dump it in the trash.
17:10If my life means so little to them,
17:12then at least I want to let it mean something,
17:14just once before the end.
17:15No,
17:16that's not true.
17:17Your life is precious.
17:18Norman doesn't value you,
17:20but there are so many people out there.
17:21Hazel,
17:22will you sign it for me?
17:24Please?
17:30Who's going to be the other witness?
17:34I'll find one myself.
17:36Don't worry about it.
17:42It's Norman.
17:44Go ahead,
17:45answer it.
17:46Hazel,
17:47is Amy with you?
17:50What's it to you if she's here or not?
17:52Norman,
17:53you really have the nerve to call me.
17:55Did you even think about Amy
17:56when you locked her in the freezer?
17:58It was an accident.
17:59Serena was in talking nonsense.
18:01I was drunk too,
18:02and I didn't think it through.
18:03I know I messed up.
18:04Put Amy on the phone.
18:05Let me explain to her.
18:07Explain?
18:08Explain how you locked her in there
18:10for eight hours?
18:11Explain how you were drinking with Serena
18:13in the living room
18:14while Amy was left alone in the freezer,
18:16freezing like an ice block?
18:18Norman,
18:18did you even know
18:19it was minus five degrees outside last night?
18:22It was 25 fee in the freezer.
18:24Amy was just wearing a dress.
18:26Were you trying to kill her or what?
18:29I didn't.
18:30Why would I ever want to hurt her?
18:32I just,
18:32I just wanted her to cool off.
18:35She and Serena were fighting
18:36at the engagement party last night,
18:38and I was caught between them.
18:41Norman,
18:41do you even hear yourself right now?
18:43Amy is your fiancé.
18:44Who even is Serena to you?
18:46You locked your own fiancé in the freezer
18:47for some outsider,
18:48and you still think you're in the right, huh?
18:51That's not what I meant.
18:52Hazel, please,
18:53just let me say something to Amy.
18:55Just one sentence.
18:55I'm begging you, please.
18:59Amy doesn't want to see you.
19:01Don't ever try to see her again.
19:02The engagement is off.
19:03Go be with whoever you want.
19:06No!
19:07We can't break off the engagement!
19:09Amy and I have been together for three years.
19:11We can't just end it like this.
19:13Hazel,
19:13tell Amy I'm waiting for her
19:14outside her building.
19:15I'll wait till she's ready to see me.
19:18He's downstairs.
19:20Okay.
19:21Do you want to see him?
19:22No.
19:27He was still wearing the same cashmere coat
19:29he'd had on that morning.
19:30It was pretty rumbled now.
19:32His hair was a mess, too.
19:34He looked pretty rough.
19:37Hazel, stay here tonight, okay?
19:38I'm worried he'll come up and knock.
19:40Okay.
19:41I'll keep you company.
19:49I'll go check.
19:52It's Serena.
19:56Should I open it?
19:58Yeah, open it.
20:03Hazel,
20:04you're here, too.
20:06I cooked some soup for Amy.
20:08She was freezing last night,
20:09so I thought some hot soup
20:11might help her warm up.
20:12Serena, what do you want?
20:15I, I just wanted to see Amy.
20:17Is she okay?
20:19Thanks to you,
20:20she hasn't died yet.
