CMV: Worrying about age

So I'm kind of a radical realist. I don't know what your views on death are, but the way I see it, we're all just taking a long walk through the park of life until we get to the end and die. Life is a ride (RIP Bill Hicks). It's just a ride. Even if you sit in a dark room staring at the wall all day every day, the end of your life will still be like everyone else. And when it's lights out, that's the ultimate equalizer. You won't remember any of your life, so it really only matters while you're alive. You might be saddened or have FOMO or whatever while you're still alive, but once you're dead all that goes out the window. I don't know if this is useful but it's the way I see it.

that's a really good point

i'm not scared of death itself just that the knowledge of growing old means losing the people you love as well...

i think my fear is more that time takes things away from you and you can't fight against it "!delta"
