I’m at the upper end of my 30s but I half jokingly tell my friends that when I’m too old
I’m going to take the sailboat out for one last sail...and just not come back.

Death is sad, but if you have some terminal thing and a month to live it’s kind of a romantic way to leave. But idk, people get terminal diagnoses and live happily in good health for years afterwards too. I suppose what most people want is a peaceful exit, like no pain and while sleeping or something.

I've pretty much told my family my primary issue is happiness and comfort. If I'm even at the point where I'm not able to enjoy my life any longer and there's little chance of that improving they are free to pull the plug on me. I don't want to burden them with medical expenses or draw out pain and suffering needlessly.
