To think that one day I'll be dead, and none of this will matter?

I've thought in these terms since school, and I still do. Is that a weird or wrong way to think? Do other people think in these terms?

Sometimes I look forward to being dead, not in a suicidal way. It's just that I won't have to fill in any more forms and stuff.

😂 This tickled me. Amen to no more forms and stuff!

Thanks for this thread. I need to think/feel like this more instead of getting caught up in irrational anxiety and letting silly things get to me so much.

Yes thanks for this thread! It has also made feel better in a strange way.

I keep thinking that I will just be a face in a photo one day and some people may or may not even remember my name which is fine

I have thought like this for a long time. I also don't get stressed over anything anymore, if something unfortunate has happened being upset or angry won't reverse it.

I think this way. It's gives perspective, makes me less fearful about stepping out of my comfort zone and allows me to just get on with living life. There's no point in worrying and second guessing yourself about every action and decision because none of it will matter in the end.

I think like that. I have a musical talent that I could have developed and maybe done really well out of. Big maybe. There's so many gifted and talented people far better than me.

Anyway honestly the thought of being even z list famous is appalling. One day I will be dead and it won't matter if I was famous or rich... Except it would have made my life worse.

Okay more money, I'd have spent it, and for that I'd have been judged constantly and probably harshly, because I'm spectacularly underwhelming in most other aspects. It would be horrible. Instead I chose to give that all up and just focus on enjoying my life.

Sometimes I feel a little envious but I live my life as freely as I can (kids come first) because it genuinely won't matter to anyone else in 100years.
