Death

Does the thought of dying scare you? It shouldn't...

I can't exactly say that it scares me. I personally think that death is just one of the things we go through in life. Funny how people think of it: Some fear it while others don't, some try to avoid it and some seek for it, but what's intriguing is the curiousity of what happens next, will there be heaven or hell, will there be reincarnation, will we haunt the world for all eternity, will we be transported to a parallel universe,or will we just vanish without a trace--no one knows.

To me, death is unavoidable (unless you have super wizard powers that makes you an immortal) , and although there will be mourning and grief, it is a natural part of life. So I hope that when I die one day, someone would throw a party to celebrate my funeral and be happy about it , because I wouldn't want my loved ones to be sad c:

Sometimes, my art just makes absolutely no sense... It's not even really meant to be art; more like stupid cartoons with an expressed effort of some sort of "dark side". Death is something that's difficult for me to think about. Sometimes I welcome it, and other times I force myself to make bargains with it. It took the one person that I held most dear, and yet there's very many other people that go through the same thing on a daily basis. Hell, people can wake up dead. I found your response very interesting, because it brings up the points that we mostly ask ourselves and don't necessarily express towards others normally. This is what I love about what I do, truly. The responses I get from you guys are so unique, and they really help most of the time. It's almost as if, for some reason, people have a burning purpose to say something and speak up when others do. It takes one to make a crowd, I guess, but I'm not quite there yet. haha My point is, death is just one of those things that raises many questions and can only answer very few factually. None of us know what happens next, and my way of coping with the thought of it all in general is just that it happens to everyone. It's gotta happen sometime, so why avoid it? I feel the same. I would rather people revisit the times they had with me when I smiled, and they smiled back. I hope they can think something of me that will help them further their own lives and make something beautiful. I know I ask for way too much, but if my life can mean anything, I want it to give people the hope for something better than all of this. I want people to stand up for what they believe in, and to believe in themselves. If I can get just a single person to be exactly who they intend to be in every way that makes their world, I did it right. If I can change their world, then maybe I can help contribute to more of it (if not the world as a closer whole). I would have a death party, if anything were my choice. lol Still, it's nice to hear your thoughts on the matter, as they truly raised questions for me personally. Such as, have you ever dealt with grief? If so, who was it and why were they so important to you? Thanks again, Tailsbuddy, and let this life be a crazy, mind bending trip that takes us many places.
