To be honest, I'd just be happy I could smoke cigarettes again.

OP, you sound like you need to talk to someone. Not on the internet. In real life.

Did I miss something OP said that made you think that? I’d indeed be happy I could smoke again, too. There’d be existential crisis and all, too, but cigarette would 100% be back. Man, and it’s been like 10 years, imagine someone who just quit lol

I don't think someone who's not having a crisis would think about the world ending and decide that the thrill of skipping work is about even with the knowledge of impending death in terms of emotional impact.

You do realize it's entirely possible to hold more than one disparate emotions at once, right? If I knew the world was ending tomorrow, I'd definitely be excited that I wouldn't have to scrub any fucking toilets at work, even if I would be sad/scared/etc that I couldn't further accomplish or experience things I wanted to before I died.
