The day my grandpa had to explain dying to me one night babysitting. I don’t know how old I was- 4? 6? 

I just remember crying. 
“I don’t want to die!”

That emotion stuck with me over the years but evolved- as a teenager, it turned into a love of theoretical physics which pushed me harder into math, which made me better at music, which sprung my career in arts, law, and more.

😂 So I guess “never wanting to die” is not just a fear of death for me anymore now, as it’s evolved into an eagerness to see, be a part of, and observe everything forever.

Even if I get stuck in some box at a museum and can only GPT with guests between 8-8.

Is this something you decided as a child? I’m curious when it started for you

I think about this a *lot* over the years including all worst-case-scenarios. My answer has never moved from a resilient and unequivocal “absolutely yes.”

I’m not sure because it is just the pull between what I know/am familiar with and what might come, that could be better. Growing up, Christian, I was taught that death was a gift because eternal life was a punishment.  

I have to think about this more

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

But what would make me so certain that they would take it too? Also, then we have the major problem of we don’t have enough space for everyone!

What if they had a choice to live forever, too?

naw, probably not. too much sorrow with everyone around me I value dying. Hbu?

Meaning, you could repair your body and maintain an age or reverse - so that you’d never die
