Hello.
Today's episode might get a little dark, okay?
But we're gonna get through it together.
It's gonna get real.
It's gonna get a little freaky, but we're gonna come to some really positive conclusions together.
So just stick with me, and we're gonna get through it, okay?
Today we're talking about mortality.
Because all of us, me, you, everyone, you know, we're all mortals.
Mortals are human beings that are subject to death.
All of this to say, we're all gonna die at some point.
I feel like when I was little, I knew that I would die one day, and I knew that I could die at any time.
But I feel like my perspective was very one dimensional and kind of optimistic.
Like, I always felt like I had so much time.
I felt like adults were constantly reminding me how much time I had in my life to accomplish my dreams and just make memories and make the most out of my life.
Like, the narrative when I was a child was, oh, you have so much time.
And I would look at people who are older and just think, God, I'm so far from that.
It almost feels like it'll never happen to me.
I just never really thought about my own mortality.
But I think a part of maturing into an adult is coming to terms with the fact that we're going to die at a certain point, we transition from this sort of youthful, optimistic view of mortality to a very painfully realistic view of mortality, where we realize we're gonna die, the people we love are gonna die, everyone's gonna die.
We don't know when, we don't know how, and it's fucking real.
