Mortality

I am terrified of death. The question of what happens to us when we die haunts me. I always thought that believing in life after death was foolish and illogical, just a lie perpetuated by religious institutions in an attempt to indoctrinate us. But I suddenly find myself looking for reasons to believe that this isn’t all there is; That we can’t possibly just disappear and become nothing but dust. Life is moving faster, the years are slipping away quickly and my mortality is an ever-growing presence, looming over me, sending me searching for an answer that I will never find.
