 Fun fact: I think of death every single day.

Not in a sad or anxiety driven way, but just in appreciation of the value of life. 

How rare we all are to be here. 
And, how at any point, poof we'll be dead.

It encourages me to live with more intention and purpose. I'm glad I discovered ancient greek philosophy to explore this topic in further detail. 

If you haven't read Mediations from Marcus Aurelius, I can't recommend it enough.  
 Every single day bro 

I watched like 4 NDE’s talks on YouTube today. Always give me love and hope and makes me keep threading the path that my spiritual teacher lays down for me. 
 Ya man. 
Let's just say I've seen my fair share of death and it matured me really quick. 
Suicides, sudden death, you name it.  
 Blessings brother. Sorry to hear that you witnessed & experienced all that. 
 I'm not, wouldn't be who I am without life experience. Expanded my conscious and eliminated my ignorance. I have more compassion for people and a life.
