'I'm 27 now. I don’t want to go. I love my life' - Woman's inspirational letter posted hours after her death is the most powerful thing you'll read today

A young woman’s inspiring letter of life advice has been published online by her family – hours after she died of cancer.

Holly Butcher (27) wrote a letter of advice to the world which outlined how people should never sweat the small stuff.

The Australian died last Thursday after her battle with Ewing's sarcoma, a cancer in and around the bones.
Her inspirational letter which her family posted on Facebook has now gone viral.

She asked people not to obsess about their body shapes, to nourish their bodies with fresh foods, and not to complain about the small things that can go wrong in life.
Holly advised people to spend their money on experiences, not things. To enjoy nature. To "eat the cake" with "zero guilt". To listen to music, to cuddle the dog.

"Far out, I will miss that," she wrote.

The Ocean Is Suffocating, and It's Our Fault

Ocean "dead zones" — regions of the sea where oxygen is severely or entirely depleted and most forms of life can't survive — are becoming more numerous, and scientists warn that they will continue to increase unless we curb the factors driving global climate change, which is fueling this alarming shift in ocean chemistry.

Even outside these near-lifeless ocean regions, rising global temperatures and influxes of nutrient pollution are throttling oxygen levels in the open ocean and in coastal areas, threatening communities of sea life around the world.

This sobering view of the "suffocating" ocean was described in a new study, published online today (Jan. 4) in the journal Science. The study is the first to present such a comprehensive evaluation of ocean oxygen depletion and its causes. And less oxygen in the ocean doesn't just spell trouble for marine plants and animals — it could carry serious repercussions for life on land as well, the researchers cautioned.
