If I’m feeling hopeful about my own death or grieving someone I love, I imagine some conception of heaven where we are all just floating blobs of contentment. Nothing to do but exist here and be happy. Kind of like how Buffy the Vampire Slayer describes heaven.
I took a philosophy of religion class that dealt with different conceptions of Heaven and many philosophers still think we would have to “help” people from beyond the grave somehow. Not really my ideal afterlife.
If I’m talking about someone I hate dying I picture this wild torturous multi-level hell scape.
But on an average day I think we just stop existing. There’s nothing more to it.

:/ I feel like the days are movin far too swiftly. Everyone is a little checked out, and its as if we’re all just sitting around waiting for something bad to happen because so many aspects of life are wild and extremely disheartening.
I just miss the world being a tad bit more optimistic, happy, and I shall dare to say… a lot more ignorant.

right now as I'm writing this, new york is caked in a freaky orange smog and the world is proverbially "giving" "apocalypse vibes." it's hard not to feel an underlying sense of doom and dread lurking in everything, even the fun things (well the world is ending, so I might as well do what I want, etc. etc.). my whole thing as of late is that I'm sort of over that...I read Recapture the Rapture by Jamie Wheal recently which gets into a lot of these feelings (s/o the meta crisis) and one of his pitches for the start of a solution is something he calls "radical hope." I of course do not know if it will work but I think it's far more interesting than ironic detachment because you're actually not brave enough to care about anything

ever think about the fact that time is relative and every moment is progressively a smaller and smaller proportion of your life so technically we’re all hurtling faster and faster toward death? well i do! is this how u recommend?

I found out a friend annotates every book he reads. I don’t think I could ever do that, but I would love to read something he’s annotated. More than that I would love to read a book someone has specifically annotated with me in mind.

This was at some company event he was hired to work at. I was mostly upset that the Totally Spies graphic tee was being obstructed by the balloon plane.
