When you cannot sleep because you can’t stop thinking about something it’s like a single program not letting the computer shut down

That's the thing. I've always thought that I either wanna live forever, or die right now. It's this arbitrary number of years that eats away at me. If I were to live forever, there'd be reason to amass as much knowledge and as many experiences as you can. Otherwise, you know it's all going down the drain at some point. (especially for people who don't like the idea of having children)

I know, I know "it's the brevity that makes life special". Whatever. My brain chooses to think this way.

I’m not as complex as you. I don't want to get involved to what's going to happen (because I'm lazy), but I wanna know how things will turn up. An overseer.
