Do you every just lie there and poke your body parts and think "that's going to rot away one day"

That you will be lying there unmoving with no sign that you ever where anything . Had thoughts hopes, dreams and plenty of potential . I must admit the thought of my death offends me simply because I see no point of life if death follows.However this is the way of the universe and i accept it.Im completely fine with death It is what it is .Never really had a problem with it except for confusion over it .
While I am certain it's going to happen one day , a part of my brain I have no control over refuses to believe it. I know it's the same for a lot of people. I wonder why is it because from young ages we are taught to believe we have a part of us that can never die.
No I don't want to hear about how I should live life to the fullest .I know that already I am alive so of course I'll try my best with it. That's not what I'm asking .

I abandoned the concept of souls awhile ago. I accept that im not going to exist one day, and that likely before that im going to lose everything i love and care about. Just trying to enjoy myself while i can. Trying not take the many things i have for granted even if it feels like so little compared to people around me. But to answer your question, yes i do often think about how im going to die. Usually when im trying to sleep. Honestly i think more about how painful the process of dying is probably going to be more than about my body rotting away.

EDIT: i think it's hard to let go of the concept of existence because the mind can't comprehend not existing.
