Are you scared of death?

I'm more saddened about the things I'll never get to do rather than dying itself.

This, exactly.

Thirded. If I feel like I experienced at least the majority of what I want to, then I'll welcome it gladly.

So I'm assuming at the moment, you're scared of death?

I'm a lot more scared of it now than I was ten years ago. Reason being, I now have to think not only of myself but of my sis (yes, that again!) --- if I die, there is no-one who will take on the responsibility/burden of looking after her, so I worry constantly what would happen if one of life's pairs of dice comes up snake eyes for me? I mean, it could be anything: hit by a bus, random attack in the street by some crazy guy, heart attack, SADS, getting mauled to death by wild dogs when crossing the outback (okay, not that one) --- just too many things that could happen.

I hope that I live to a reasonable age and that, to be fair, she goes before I do, because the pressure of living for another person often comes close to cracking me. I mean, suppose I saw some kid cross the street and a truck bearing down on them? Most of us would probably try to save the child, heedless of our own safety. Me, I'd have to think of my sister and that makes me both selfish and pragmatic at the same time. I'll never be a hero.

So yeah, I fear dying, but more due to what I'd be leaving behind than what I'd be going to, and more for her than for me.

Thanks, Fluff: I'm all on edge now!

Again.

No. I'd just get upset because I don't feel like I've done enough things. But if it actually came to be that I knew I was going to die, meh. I'll live.

Yeah, that.

I'm not afraid of dying. I always thought that high school was going to be the best four years of my life when I was younger. At this point, I'm just about ready to move on and I look forward to University, which I am now convinced is going to be the best four years of my life (or at least the most exciting).

Death is still a long way away off for me (I hope), and as long as I have something to look forward to in life, I'm not worried.

I really hope the best four years of your life don't occur within the first quarter of it. What a depressing thought.
