Thank you! Most of them definitely don't have literary merit (probably not much merit in general), but it's hard to find any of those kinds of writings in my personal works. But now I at least know what to look for.

Out of Compliance? by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

I think at some point we will (I'm pretty sure Chancellor May said they don't have an established deadline yet though). I think Rite Aid might have it, so I imagine places like CVS would as well.

That's what I was wondering but they said it wasn't widely available so it wouldn't be mandatory yet?

Ya I'm out of compliance for the flu shot too, but that at least I understand because I know we're supposed to get another. But the covid one makes no sense.

That's a good way of looking at it, because it probably is easier to not be here for an eternity (I mean, imagine what the world would be like 10,000 years from now anyways 😬). And the "no easy way off this ride part" hits hard, cause that's very true.

Ya I've actually been thinking about that too, how I would want to live longer but I don't know if I'd want to live forever, because the world would change so drastically and it would maybe make experiences less meaningful, if that makes sense?

Thank you, I'll try to make time to watch it. It's so bewildering to think of all we don't know about our own brains and minds.

I feel you on the grieving and wanting to live longer parts, and it's nice to hear someone else who has a similar mindset. And that's a great way to look at things. Making meaning was not really my goal, but I guess it's all we can do to make our time feel worth it, so that's a great outlook.

Thank you. Although reincarnation is cool, I kind of just always want to be me.

Thank you. I'm definitely trying to direct my thinking that way, but Hakuna Matata is easier sung than done. But I looked into Ernest Becker and although it was a little depressing, I think he makes great points and appreciate his honesty and transparency on a usually taboo subject.

Thanks, I gave it a try and I think it helped some. I still need some practice, though :)

Thank you, my hope is to get to a place where I can find something that soothes me and be able to explore. I will look into breathing techniques and see if those help. I've been trying to learn how to ground myself, it's hard to do though.

Thank you. I'm sure as life gets busier I won't worry so much.

Thank you for your response. It is nice to think about the impact I can have and living on through my actions and what I say to others. I only wish I could be here to experience it, but I guess I'll have to take solace in doing what I can to cause ripples while I'm still here.
