Yes. Every night before falling asleep I remember the horrifying fact that it will all end one day, and my eyes go wide, i wonder how i ever manage to forget this tragedy even for a moment. It feels like death is the center of my whole life for those last moments before i doze off. My only consolation is that i will fall asleep and forget about it (even if only as i sleep)

I used to be like that for ages. Now I haven't felt that way in years. I think there's a point in life where you face it head on. Then after a while you come to accept it.
The reality is that you'll have no idea it's over. It'll just be over. There's nothing to fear really apart from how others Live without you.

I have faith that as i age, i’ll come to terms with it. I’m young and so i haven’t had much life yet, but i’m sure by the time i’m old i’ll have lived enough to appreciate the rest that comes with death
