I have a hard time wrapping my head around loving life and existence. It's been so long since I've considered existence to be a pleasant experience I forget there are people out there actively enjoying themselves.

I’ve felt that way before, and it was kind of freeing. I actually went out and did more because my acceptable of risk was higher, and I didn’t worry so much because I was ready for it to all end anyway.

You're better off that way. The mental stress of actively not wanting to die is unimaginably high.

It's the absurdity of fearing death and/or loathing life that is almost humorous when you think about it.
