Death · 5:16am Jul 15th, 2012
Death is something that I can't run away from, no matter how hard I try. When I think about it like I am now, my throat becomes choked up and I feel like crying, knowing my parents who I love more than anything will be gone in the blink of an eye. I know that we have been dead for millions of years, and right now is our shinning moment where we can finally live for a short while, but the thought of everything ending scares me.
I usually can distract myself when I'm online, watching a great TV show/Movie, or with my family. But it's always there, the fear in the back of my mind that I am getting older second by second.
I never wanted to grow up as a child, I always and still do just want time to stop, I would gladly go through school forever just so I would avoid the horrible real world out there. I sometimes feel that if I had a lover, these thoughts wouldn't be so bad. The fact that I am alive means that I am just waiting for death to come.
Life is a fatal sexually transmitted disease. Get over it.
I read this quote, and it made me giggle, and almost helped. I know I have plenty of time left, but I don't want to just die for nothing... I want my like to have meaning, not like the normal time where people just live to die one day. My thoughts on god and the after life confuse me at the moment, and I'm not even sure either is real. I believe in ghosts, for my own reasons, but that scares me as well, knowing I'll roam alone forever.
I want my flash of eternity to last longer than my life, I want my writing to exceed even my own expectations, I want the world to remember my name hundreds of years from now... but I don't know if I can do that...
Death scares me, and it scares us all... but I want to be happy in this life, doing what I want to do, creating things, and doing anything I can just to... to shine...
I feel scared... I want the fear to leave, and have death remain a mystery until the final moments, because none of us know what will happen...
Life is a blessing sometimes... people killing others over petty things such as religion or sexuality sicken me beyond any belief, the hate in this world and suicides from bullying are like pointing a gun at someones head and ordering them to pull the trigger early.
Life is the greatest thing on this planet, and the world may be fucked, but it is still the greatest thing in the universe.
Death will come, and we will be forgotten... but part of me is scared of that day, a minute, hour, month, year, seventy from now...
I can't write anymore...
My advice is to live in the present, keeping the future a vague notion at best.
Endless thought about death only lead to sadness.

And write as many stories as possible before dying.
Don't be scared, the fact that we are aware of our own mortality is what let's us truely live, it would be a waste to spend that time fearing the inevitable. The measure of a mans life is if he can look death in the eye and smile.
Death happens. It always will happen. In the blink of an eye the single most wonderful man i have ever known died.
But, he's not gone.
I remember, and I've made sure others will remember something of him from me.
Even people who will never know his name will feel the ripples of his life as they spread out, echo'd into eternity, knowingly by few, unknowingly by millions.
Think of life like a room filled with marbles and a floor of slick ice. Roll just one, and others begin to move. Even after you remove the first one, others will roll because it had touched them. Every little thing matters.
Every moment, every glance, cold, indifferent, or warm, and happy. Every word spoken, even if they hear and don't listen, it affects others, and what they take from it affects even more. Even the removal of oneself from the equation will alter the whole picture.
No matter what you do, no matter what you don't do, you will make a mark, if you believe it or not. By trying or lack thereof, you will change the world.
In fact, You already have.

I just think that I'll be less scared when I'm wrapped in some guy's arms. It might sound cheesy, but I think that I'll feel better in general and be less afraid of stuff when some guy's there to comfort me and tell me everything's alright. We live on through our legacy.

Look up death part one on YouTube. It tells our phycological colony's with death and our reaction to it. Warning very sciencey and can be hard to understand. That guy is a genius.
I was once too afraid of death; I still am, I would be mad not to, but I accept it. The only reason why we fear death is because "Death is terrifying because it is so ordinary, it happens all the time." So in the end "Have the courage to live, anyone can die." Chipper up young lad; even though you're probably older than me Do what you love, do who you love, or anyone for that matter I'm sorry, I can't be serious for too long... Death is something not to dwell on, I've done that before, not too fun. So lad, have fun with it That is the best advice I can give you.
Of all the escapes from the pain of living from food to sex to drugs religion stands alone
Only with religion is everyone else required to shoot up to sustain the high
Kind off topic sorry
That's happened to me before, suicidal tendencies do not help, but you sort of have to move on, death will happen but who's to say you wont have a good life?
232655 I for some reason agree with that, having life with another person who loves you will make you forget for a short time. I feel a little better after sleeping, but last night I could hardly breathe I was having such a bad panic attack.
I'm the same way. Almost every night, I'm laying there in bed, worrying if I'll be there in the morning. My siblings. My parents. And I know they'll be gone someday, and it just drives me to tears.
We all die sooner or later and the thought of livening forever when every one around me dies fills me with fear and sadness. I look foreword to the time the my life leaves my body and becomes one with the univers and every thing in it.
The end is always good for those who are good.
If its not good, it's not the end.
Don't live in fear.......
This may or may not help you, but it helped me.
"Think of life like a train barreling at you. It's far away and you can barely see it on the horizon. You can turn the other way and run in fear, preventing it for a while, or you could pull up a chair, crack open a beer, and watch it come." (I messed up the quote... didn't I... XD)
I never really thought of death that much until I had two really lovely friends of mine pass away in the span of less than six months. The idea of dying kind of scares me, but I'd also welcome it whenever it decides to come in the hopes of seeing them again.
But I have to agree with you, the thought of just wandering around forever is pretty scary.
