the thought of death.
usually, i think about it before i go to sleep. sometimes it just strikes me when i'm going through my day. whenever it happens, it sends bolts of chills throughout my body, leaving me numb and helpless.
the thought of death is not something that is easy to cope with. it is the thought of yourself being non-existent. the thought of knowing that you'll cease to exist one day. it includes many other negative, pessimistic and 'non-happy' thoughts. it makes you wonder why there's life in the first place. cause if there isn't life, there wouldn't be death.
but then again, if there isn't life, there wouldn't be you or me. you or me wouldn't exist. you or me wouldn't be able to feel a multitude of emotions. i would not be sitting in front of my computer typing this post and sharing my view on the "thought of death".
i guess even though the idea of death is one that is hard to comprehend and grasp, no one can escape this natural cycle. it will definitely linger throughout our daily lives, but let it not take over our lives. for if it does, we'll fail to appreciate it.
i'm scared. yes i am. but i'll try my best to turn this fear into courage. cause if we're too scared to die, we'll be too scared to live. and i definitely don't want to waste the time i have in this world living in fear. i can't afford to. i want to spend the precious time i have here, loving my friends and family. let us all live bravely, for life itself is truly a gift.
