It’s not the fact that it’s going to happen that troubles me, but the how.

Car accident? Fall down the stairs and snap my neck? Some guys break into my house and rape me before slitting my throat? Sleep apnea doesn’t end in me suddenly waking?

There are millions of possibilities. And then, my brain has to grapple with the lack of existence. How does kaitco simply stop existing? I spent some 13 billion years not existing and then I’m here, but then I’m not?

Anywhoozle…I’m gonna go play video games for a couple hours.

It doesn't help that I can't remember being born

Regarding nonexistance, this used to bother me but then I realized that I won't exist to care about it.

Really! It didn't hurt when I didn't exist before. And there remains a chance that we -will- get back. May it be in some time that is ... less senseless.
