Now I know something to compare it to.
what i'm scared of is not getting to experience things, the fact that i missed out on history isn't much better but at least that was rather difficult to do anything about..
it's like finding an amazing book and thinking about when you'll have read it all, it just fucking sucks

Because it was terrifying to be in a state of nonexistence. Thinking about not having what i currently have or even the fact that I'm very much likely not even going to have a state of being where i can even remember the things i had done in my life is truly fucking terrifying to me.
I used to think I didn't dream, eventually I realized that the blissful nothingness I (don't) experience between sleeping and waking up was the dream.
Keep a dream journal, eventually you'll start remembering them.
Oh boy, sleep! That’s where I’m a Viking!

Fear not, the dark, my friend. And let the feast begin.
A feast in the dark? Ehhh... :/
Put a light on. Less messy.
What I really don't understand is bringing more people into temporarily existing without the ability to get their consent and calling it a "gift" that now they get to face the lovecraftian horror of future non-existence.
Pre-birth is not like post death. The arrow of time doesn't reverse.
I dont get it either. Guess we are wired different.
Cool bug Fact is
I remember what it was like, that's why I am afraid of it.
Because if I die I'll miss the rest of the Kingkiller Chronicles.
They will surely release any day now.
And the next Boards of Canada album.
