RE: Fear of death
December 17, 2011 at 3:27 pm

The idea of my death terrifies me, but it has more do do with dying before I'm ready. I simply love my life and want to experience as much as I can before I go. Once I get bored, I wouldn't mind dying as much. Let's just say, I'd be perfectly fine with my death as long as I could set the terms and conditions of it.

The truth is, eternal life terrifies me more than death. The worst thing I'm afraid of finding out is that there is an afterlife and it doesn't get over. It wouldn't matter if I'm in heaven or hell, if I wake up in either after my death, I'll kill myself, again.
