what’s your biggest fear, not like spiders or heights, the real one

mine’s dying without ever actually making it, like looking back one day and feeling like i failed at life overall

curious what everyone else actually carries around …

    For a time recently I felt extremely overwhelmed and fearful of the idea that in death there is nothing and your consciousness slips away into a black nothingness and everything I had ever done was completely meaningless and that my existence was for nothing.

      Oddly enough knowing that makes me happy because it means there is an escape to a lifetime of minor mistakes my stupid brain won’t let go of. Helps me live in the moment.
