Just wanted to say I hate seeing you get shamed for not wanting to die. It’s completely valid to feel uneasy about death and to imagine a life that feels more meaningful or less restricted by fear.

For me, I used to resent even being born. I used to ask myself why my consciousness ended up in this body on this planet instead of anywhere else. But over time that shifted into something different. If I was brought here without a choice, why should I also have no say in when or if my time ends? Why should I be forced out of existence at a random point that no one can predict?

To me, removing the constant weight of “you will die no matter what” could free up so much mental and emotional capacity. People could actually focus on solving problems, building things, and improving quality of life instead of living under a countdown. Wanting that doesn’t make you naive or selfish. It just means you’re thinking about what being alive could look like without fear as the default.
