I don't know how to do it. I am so terrified of dying that I haven't been able to sleep well for a very long time. Everything I do seems shallow and hollow - so how does everyone just keep on moving forward, keep setting goals, keep making progress?

I think the older you get, the more you realize to just cherish every day you have. One day I'll die and I won't have to struggle and fight anymore, but I also won't be able to do the things I like and spend time with those I enjoy being around. Knowing I'll eventually die gives my life meaning as I don't know how long I have, just that I'm here now and every day needs to count.
