Oh I think you’ll find that really young people and really old people handle death the best (ever told a young kid a relo has died they are like ‘ok, can I go back to LEGO now?’

Old people know it’s coming and most are comfy knowing their time is up.

Whereas once you hit the middle part you not only stress about your own mortality, and those close to you, but you get sad over complete strangers dying. It’s weird man.

I’m not sure if ignorance is the best word. I’d call it acceptance. You know it’s coming, you can’t do anything about it, so why stress.

I’m also not the best person to ask on this either. It has a very unflattering name, but I’d rather you just assume I’m ‘different’.

If anything I’m def more ‘concerned’ at how my life will be when I reach the age you physically can’t live your current life.
