There was a woman in a long-term care facility up here who lived to be 129 years old. Like, is that really necessary??? For me it's all about quality of life, not quantity.

Shit, I'd be happy if I was able to do that. While I do think that quality is more important than quantity, I have an incredibly huge fear of death. Living as long as possible would be really nice.

And now the fear is kicking in, ima go puke. brb.

May I ask what it is about death that scares you? If you're not comfortable talking about it, that's cool, you don't have to.

I'm quite comfortable with it myself...I'm considering going into palliative care.

fuck that, I want to be sick for at least 10 years of my life & be on my death bed for at least 5 years.

Ya same!

Older than 90? No thanks. Death is just as important a topic as life. If you're afraid of death you're spending too much time avoiding it rather than just living.

Oh, I'm comfortable talking about it. There's only been one point where I almost threw up, but I can usually keep it under control.

I'm not sure where I stand as far as my beliefs on religion go, and as of now I don't believe that there is a heaven or an afterlife. Once you die, you die. That's it, gone, nothing, black forever. Yes, I know that you don't wont be able to consciously comprehend this once you are dead. You wont know it, you will just cease to exist for eternity. Forever, infinity, etc. Whether or not I'm able to consciously know that I am dead doesn't matter. It's that there will be nothing forever.

Fuck. YANKEES!

You're not comfortable at all. Why do I know this? You're thinking too much about it. Live your life to the fullest party every chance you get, stop worrying about Grim, he's not after you.

I do, and I have no problem keeping the thought out of my mind. It usually only hits me when the topic itself comes up.
