Being a firefighter and seeing tons of dead people. Seeing people take their last breaths. Become numb to it after awhile but never forget them.

I had a similar realization last year when i attempted to remember my great grand parents. Realized i had only met 3 out of 8 of them.
And i honest to god know almost nothing about how they lived their lives
Even with the three that are gone, i kinda regret that myself as a child did not ask them more about how things were like for them. A few of them actually experienced the 1800s with horse drawn carriages, which is wild to me.
And at times i genuinely wonder what WW1 was like for them and realize these are questions that could have been asked directly at one point .
To know how insignificant we are as individuals in the grand scheme of life. We are only as significant as the people who knew us. After they pass so too does our significance. 70,80,90 years of life forever gone as if you never existed. Even the memories of you by the loved ones we leave behind become hazy as the years wear on.
All the loved ones who left us over the years…I wonder where their at…

To all the brehs in this thread I’m glad you’re still here. Life is fragile. Enjoy the time with family and friends, it’s finite.

My own mortality was when I was diagnosed with Hodgekins Lymphoma at 17. Mortality in general I saw someone get shot in the head when I was 9.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Anxiety attacks.
I get them bad. Like really bad...
Very infrequent now, but I legit lose control of my motor functions in my worst attacks.
