That's the thing about stuff people don't talk about: not knowing what goes on in other people's heads. It's not that I thought I think about death a lot more than other people; it's that I had no way of knowing how often other people do.

But yeah, being willing to talk about death (randomly, not at a funeral or in a doctor's office or to get attention) is kind of unusual in our culture. And I myself feel I have to hold back a little most of the time lest I either make other people uncomfortable because of the topic itself or cause them to worry that I'm "in a dark place".

Part of this is looking at my own noggin. Part of it is thinking of my life as a story and wondering how I would write the ending if I were in complete control of that.

Yeah I find I also need to curb myself some times. Takling abotu death and such. It's all a matetr of which group I'm with. Some people will talk with me for hours and hours about it. To the point wheer we've ended ourselves in comic book fashion almost. It can get quite entertaining I must say:)

So I completely understand looking at it as if you're writting the story of your life.:)
