It's unknown, it's unfathomable. It can take everything we love away and never gives it back. We write thousands of stories 'explaining' it, but we never really can. Death is a damn scary thing, I think we're all in agreement on that, but why do you fear it? Is it that you fear the unknown? Do you fear having everything taken from you? Do you fear for those you love, and how they will live without you?

And yes, I'm in a screwed up mood right now.

I fear that all my achievements will fade away, everything I've done will become insignificant, and any remaining memories of me are twisted and altered by family members who never really knew me.

I also fear that in the moment of death, I will wish I had lived differently.

I don't. That doesn't mean that I want to die, I just don't fear it and accept it will happen eventually.

I'm just ticked off I'm gonna die with so many questions unanswered. Stupid existence! Before I was born it seemed pretty peaceful. After I die its gonna be the same, nothing to fear. I just dont like that I cant choose to live longer if I want to, and I dont like that there is so much I wont be able to see.

Knowing you are going to die isn't a scary thought at all. It should remind you what it should be to be alive in this moment and time and embrace it to the fullest.
The only thing that worries me concerning death are the many creative ways life can lead you there. But then again, you can worry about everything and anything if you think that that's worth it.

Well, I don't really think about it, so I don't give myself much time to fear it. I guess I'm just a little apprehensive about the whole dying part. And not existing. And other people touching my stuff. I don't want people touching my stuff. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that after I die, I won't exist. I won't consciously know anything anymore. I'll just stop being. And that's difficult.

Can't say that I fear death. I'm not trying to express myself as ultra-macho, but I have been on the precipice and it is nothing to be afraid of. I do love life, though, and I very much want to have a long, fruitful journey to the finish line.

One of my only real fears. It just seems to me like everything just ends. Obviously that happens but I just imagine that everything will go black and that'll be it. Just gone, nothing. I'd like to believe that there is something after but no one has come up to me and said "Hey, you know that whole dying thing? It all works out in the end. Don't worry, been there, done that." Nobody knows what happens. I think that's what scares me the most. No one knows and there's no avoiding it. And once it happens there's no going back. Also like what was said, I fear that people will remember negative things about me or just not remember at all. My eulogy will probably be "Oh, I think I had that guy on Facebook".

I fear death simply because I love life, all the things I could do that I won't be able to fit into a single lifetime, it makes me sad thinking about it :(

I don't fear death itself, just the pain associated with it and the uncertainty of what happens after
