So I’m about to get real vulnerable here…

One of my biggest fears that I wish I had more courage and more people to talk about with is actually my fear of death. Because death is so permanent and dark, it’s a scary thought.

I learned a lot about heaven and hell when I was in Catholic school. I do believe in the after-life, however, I also believe in reincarnation, the belief of new life on Earth.

But I think more importantly what makes me so scared of death is a severe case of FOMO or even what will be my impact when I’m gone.

That’s why I crave so much financial freedom so I can finally do the things that I want to do so I don’t have any regrets when I do pass. I also want to leave a positive impact in people’s lives.

But because I always want to change my course every year, it’s hard to leave such an impact when I want to do everything.

I blame my ADHD for my inconsistency.

I’m in my mid-30s now.

On one hand, I’m still so young and I have so much time.

But on the other hand, I feel like I’m running out of time.

In societal norms, I should be married, starting a family, and have a well-paying job at this point. I have none of these three. Which depressed me a lot since I’m not “on track”.

But in the last 2 years, I’m learning how to break out of this mindset.

I’m finding love in other ways that doesn’t have to be romantic love. I’m practicing how to truly love myself and be satisfied with my unique life path. And when my final day does come around, I hope that people will know that I loved my life and accepted death as a warm welcome to the bigger Universe, and not a scary dark place of Nothing.

I shared my biggest fear, so what’s yours? And what will you do to face or embrace it?
