is it normal to think about dying everyday?
The story
sometimes i wonder if it's normal to think about dying every single day. i mean, my family history is like a horror show or somthin' with cancer all over the damn place. last aunt who passed away, they said 'fight like a warrior,' but she still went down too young man 😂. so it kinda feels like there's this big schedule up there i'm not aware of and who's next for the cosmic lottery? me or one of my cousins?
just thinkin' about it makes me question so many things, you know what i'm sayin'? growing up my dad used to joke 'we got more in common with cemeteries than our neighbors' - dark humor runs in the fam. okay maybe it's not funny haha but keeps us sane. life's short afer all right; and yet here we are tryin to figure out what comes after.
it ain't exactly an obsession but more like an unwelcome guest that pops up whenever you don’t want it. 'hey good morning! here's your daily dose of existential dread.' sometimes i try to imagine a life where we'd hit 100 years no doubt but with the way things have been going... idk man.
maybe someone watches over us (not religiously speakin just metaphorically) and keeps track of how close we're gettin'. i keep hearin' quotes everywhere sayin' 'life's what you make it,' or those cheesy movie lines like ‘to be or not to be’ - they don't prepare ya for real thoughts though.

Points of view
Man ion even know what to say lol, just live your life. Even people without cancer still die at young ages and at unexpected times.
yeah, you are probably right...
you know, people go through so much worse in life, everyone has their struggles right? I know it sucks to live with thoughts constantly revolving around death but try shifting your outlook on life..
yeah, I see your point, trying hard some days tho...
Mostly normal!!
Possibly typical?..
I get that feelin', but wondering about dying every day seems kinda heavy, doesn't it?!
Dude, I feel you. That constant cloud of worry sounds heavy, especially when it's been part of the family chatter for so long. Sometimes dark humor is the only way to deal with stuff that's hard to face head on, right? But maybe focusing on some lighter things every now and then can help too. It's not easy to escape those thoughts entirely, but creating little pockets of positivity might make it a bit more manageable? 🤔
idk man maybe its not that uncommon tbh ppl dont talk bout these kinda feels much guess they hide em
man, that's deep and real. it's like every family has its own "curse" or whatever, just lurking around; you're not the only one feeling that weight. sometimes it feels like life gives us a spinning wheel with our names on it, right? dark humor is honestly one of the best ways to cope though... like if we can't laugh at life's absurdity then what do we have left? hang in there and keep sharing thoughts—it helps more than you'd think.
Not really abnormal...
Man, it's wild how the mind jumps around like that. I feel you on the dark humor thing...my family's way of coping too. Honestly, thinking about all this makes me wonder how much we let fear dictate our choices. Maybe recognizing it as an "unwelcome guest" can actually give us more freedom to live in the moment? Sometimes I find myself doing something spontaneous just to shake those thoughts off and embrace whatever time I've got!
cuz many ppl might deal wit these negative thots anonymously online instead seems liek thats jus part of modern livng nowdays ya kno?
itl prob ges better w time
Instead of thinking about dying everyday do you ever sit down and think what's making you feel the need to ponder such heavy topics so frequently?
