Is anyone else just a teensy bit excited for death? (Not a cry for help, I'm fine, just hear me out)

Not saying i wanna off myself or anything I'm just talking about the fact that death is THE unknown of all unkowns. NO ONE KNOWS what is going to be in death no matter how much they may claim to.

But one day we're gonna find out, we're all going to find out, and that shit has got to be so surreal. Those last few moments of cognition before the big reveal are gonna be so wild dude.

And as for what comes after? Mystery of mysteries. I can't help but intensely wonder.

Yeah I would experience that excitment after really conceptualising death as a child

@PepsiColaP i remember the day i asked my mom about life and death.

I was real young; I know this because everything in that memory is so big compared to me. I think I was in preschool at the time or at least about to be, probably about 4 years old.

I asked her if we do "this" forever.

She asked me what "this" is.

I just kind of gestured around with my hands because I didn't have words to describe the concept of living.

"...life? Living?" She inferred, correctly.

I said yes, and she told me that no. We live for a while and then we die and go to heaven.

I asked her if heaven lasts forever.

She said yes.

I thought about that for a while and told her that the idea of doing something forever, never ever ending, made me uncomfortable. (Disclaimer: im sure i said this in a very baby-esque way. I just dont remember my exact words)

She told me to trust in god.

I dont consider myself a Christian/a believer in the god of the bible like she is but i still find that conversation interesting.
