just a small ramble i suppose…
For context: i have severe death anxiety, and (as a form of therapy) i have spent a lot of time dwelling on this subject
For a lot of people, death is scary because there’s no real way of knowing what happens. Human beings naturally want to understand what they don’t know, and we tend to fear things that we don’t understand.
Uncertainty is scary because it makes one feel unstable.
But, I’ve noticed that, for me, it’s different. Not knowing what happens is definitely a factor, but the concept of everything just… stopping is worse. It fills me with immense dread.
Even when I’m trying to have a good time with friends, there’s always a lingering thought in the back of my mind—the fact that there’s always a chance that i could just drop dead during it. That everything would just stop abruptly. Like a permanent power outage, or a blown fuse.
I’m not sure why that scares me so much. It’s not like I’d notice? That I was dead, I mean. Idk.

I feel like death is so morbid, that's what makes it scary. It simply doesn't follow any rule, it just happens. Sometimes naturally and sometimes cruelly but either way, both ways cause some kind of discomfort
to know it can all just be gone the moment your organs stop working 
ooh, yeah that makes sense… i feel like even if we all knew when and how we were gonna die (and if we all died the same way, just peacefully while sleeping) it wouldnt be any less scary ,, i really feel like the scariest part about it is just the fact that everything would just be over out of nowhere??
i guess that’s why it’s important to live life to the fullest
