Bonjour and welcome back to my latest blog post about death. I hope you’re doing well and yea, enjoy! 🙂
In my opinion death is a fascinating topic to talk, write and discuss about. Sure enough it’s very common, if we talk about death, it’s mostly related to something negative. Also, it’s a taboo topic in society, which I can totally understand. Death is a very intimate topic and when we talk about it, it’s usually in our closer circle, not in public or with people who we don’t know. But anyway I think it’s important to discuss it, because it’s such a taboo topic and everybody has its own thoughts about it, what makes it so interesting.
In my life I’ve seen dead people before, the first person I’ve seen dead, was my father in the year of 2015. I was 13 years old at this time, and it was extremely surreal for me. It felt like as the time just stood still, and I just couldn’t realize what happened. I felt like falling without ever hitting the ground, having a nightmare without ever waking up… But why am I referring this topic with the dead of my father? Because I want empathie or attention? – no. I want you to try to think and feel about death in many ways, not just as a negative thing. It’s so mysterious and also very complex, to just have ONE strict opinion about it.
Well, after they dragged his body out, all the family members came together, and we sat there to talk about his life. I was the one saying: It was a relief for him, even tough I was hurt in every possible way, still I tried to put my ego aside and thought or tried to think in an optimistic kind of way, just because I knew how he was suffering mentally and physically for such a long time (It was a Heart attack).
Death is just very strange and that’s one thing all human beings share together, it’s death. One day everybody, even YOU will leave this planet and go into the unknown. I am writing this, because I think it’s good when people sometimes remind me of how everything’s going to end one day and how a lot of things we’re afraid of just really don’t matter. See, let’s say you can watch your life through a timeline. As you zoom out, the timeline gets smaller, and it seems likes life is just extremely short and while you’re zooming it, it can make you feel, that time isn’t going by, and you might even think you’re never getting older, or you feel stuck. And to be honest, I think life really goes by so fast…
It’s just crazy if you think how often we waste our energy and time for people, that aren’t even relevant for us. Here’s a good quote: “”What will people say?” – This sentence has killed more dreams than anything else in the world.” And that’s so true. Especially for people like me, who tend to overthink a lot. It can be very hard to not think about, what other people think. This process must be learned, I think so, so did I.
Well one other thing is, just because you’re going to die, doesn’t mean that you should behave bad and disrespect others. Also, just think about, how the years are passing. Nobody really knows how old they’re getting, so remind yourself to put in effort for the things that makes sense for you. Try to build your own masterpiece.
Because, living is actually really beautiful. I tend to daydream sometimes after I leave work. I’m walking through the city of Zurich and I sometimes watch all the people passing by in a rush. Not to sound like a creep or so, but watching humans or society just gives me joy sometimes, because of the unique way everyone is. All we know is, that everything’s going to have an end one day, and you should try to enjoy every moment in your life, even in the darkest days. Learn to accept yourself for who you are, because uniqueness is so beautiful, also watch out for the little things in life!
Life can be really tough sometimes because of the environment you grew up or living in, the things that happened to you because of others. There are so many things that can make your life just extremely awful and dark. But if you can figure out a way to leave all bad things that happened to you before, behind, you will be much happier. Life is such a magical place to be, everywhere is something new you haven’t done or seen before.
Unfortunately there’s also suicide, people deciding to end their lives by their own. It’s an extremely hard topic to talk about. Somehow I understand those people a bit, as I am an empath and I know by my own that life can suck to the point where just nothing really makes sense anymore. Being stuck or not knowing how to deal with problems can lead to deep, deep depression. People giving up, because they just don’t have the power, the energy anymore to improve their situation. They just came to the point in where they know there’s no hope left, no light at the end of the tunnel. – But there is…
If you’re reading this, and may had suicidal thoughts before; PLEASE SEARCH FOR HELP! – There’s always a way, really always…
And to end this blog with a question to ask yourself: what do you think will happen after death? What are the things you really want to do before you die? What’s holding you up, not to live your life the way you want, can you change something about it?
I hope you enjoyed reading about this topic, and hopefully you’ll rethink your life a little bit, when it gets a little darker, for your own good. Take care and….
Cheers! 🙂
