I’m scared of people dying. This may be a result of losing people I love, or it may just be in my DNA.
My fear doesn’t stop me from functioning like a normal* adult. It just makes me appreciate some things more. At the top of any list is health — I am so, so appreciative when people I love tell me that they’re healthy.
My mom and my grandmother both died of health complications and it makes sense that I worry so much about the health of others.
In addition to people’s health, being afraid of death makes me hyper aware of time. I know that eventually everyone will die, so I cherish the moments I get to spend with those I love.
I try really, really hard to not dwell on arguments or misunderstandings. I also try not to live with regrets. Whether it’s a class I want to take or a text I want to send the guy I like, I’m all for taking the chance.
