Insert pointless metaphor here _______________.

Until you actually die, death is just an idea. You can choose an idea that comforts you, or one that makes you shit your pants. You can see it as the loss of everything you worked for, or as a final reprieve from all the things that have caused you to suffer.

But to welcome death is to give up on the hope of future curiosities in this life we have now. Yes, today is a boring day spent trolling internet forums. But tomorrow, I could meet a fantasic girl. Or someone might spike my coffee and I'll spend the day walking on clouds. Or I could have a lucid dream, wake up, and write the best song I've ever written. Or I could happen by a house fire, save a baby, and get free donuts for life. Who knows?

I don't really give a shit about death as an idea-- but I can say that anyone who thinks it's fine to let go of life should probably quit their job, or leave their family, and go out and actually live first. Heaven or not, whatever happens can wait while I continue to explore the world in search of adventure.
