Damn. I've been worrying about my life and my inevitable death pretty recently actually. You know, one day you look back on your life and it all just feels like one big moment. You remember the ones you love, you remember your regrets, you remember your children, your children's children and you're no longer afraid for what awaits you. In my beliefs, you go up to heaven and you just wait for awhile for the messiah to come back to Earth and then you go along with him and live forever on Earth. And I mean forever. Like this will be the rest of your existence, forever. I think that is what scares me. The time we have on Earth is so little compared to what awaits us forever. And it matters the most out of forever. Like you got one shot, and if you mess it up, you just go to hell and that's the end of it. No more second chances so you really have to make the most of your time here. I hope…
