I'm scared of a lot of things, but death is at the top of my list. I know that eventually, it won't scare me that much, but right now, I'm completely terrified. What happens after you die? Is it just an eternity of black nothingness? Everything else goes on; other people keep living their lives and the world keeps turning, but your life is over. Sure, people will remember. But as time passes, your impact on others will fade and memories of you will be forgotten. One day, no one will know who you were or what you did. It makes each individual life seem very, very insignificant. That's probably what scares me the most... You live your life well, working hard and striving to become a someone in this world, but in the end, it really doesn't matter. You're just another person. And after you die, you're just another tombstone. Scary, isn't it?
