Quoted from anaemic_royalty:
Quote: me saying stuff
Well it sure seems very sound and rational when you all say that you've realized death is nothing to worry about, but what about the things you DO worry about?
Because i'm sure most of you are far from care-free and calm about everything. (Amphy and Neon sure aren't)
I actually worry about pretty much everything else. I have a really high level of anxiety, so I kinda just look at everything else and say "oh god this can't be happening can it omg wtf". I'm always stressed about something-be it my horse (yeah fuckers I worry about my pony), my grades, my parents, my friends, etc.
Quote: Compared to your death, which is like the biggest thing ever, all the other petty crap that you do worry about and get sad about are just insignificant little details. So if the end of your entire existance is nothing to worry about, where does all that calm level-headed reasoning go when you get all upset and miserable about dramatic events in your life which are only minor nuisances by comparison?
Not really. I mean, the thought of death is, clearly, subjective. I don't consider death to be a big thing. I have more important things that are affecting me right now that are more important to me. Currently death is taking a back seat to me actually living my life.
Quote: Could it be that you're just dismissing death as some obscure event that's far away in time, rather than actually considering it more deeply?
I've dealt with death in my own way multiple times thus far, and I've come to accept it for what it is. I'm upset when I know someone has died, but I don't need to ruminate about it because I understand that it will be what it will be.
When I was younger, I used to obsess over death. What would happen to me, how I'd die, when I'd die, who would care. I still think about that stuff-especially the final thing-but I don't want to be the kind of person who is virtually crippled by the thought of death, and I no longer am.
I feel like I should say more, but at the moment I'm having a Sunnyesque moment and I should probably stop.
