i know exactly how you feel about the mortality thing, i used to have to deal with the same thing and i've not quite gotten over it but YOU ARE NOT ALONE

it’s like—there’s just so many things that I want to do and learn and see and feel, and there’s so many people that I care about and love in my life that I honestly can’t fathom the idea of it all ending one day, of losing them

or maybe I can? and that’s what’s so gripping and frightening

god, sorry not to break down on your thoughtful message, i’m really sorry

thank you
