While it DOES seem like the best possible way to go, until it happens, I’ll have at least a small bit of anxiety as, somewhere in my brain, I’ll now be forever thinking “aaaaaany minute now…”

I like the idea of dying aware that I am going so I can come to terms with it and make sure my last words are something kind.

I think you're the first person I've seen who doesn't hope to die in his sleep.

I just want to make sure my last goodbyes are sweet, one maybe so loved in this life and it might be my last chance to pay back the love I’ve been gifted.

people think it'll be pleasant but imagine dying mid nightmare, fucking roll of the dice dying in your sleep

I almost always face certain death in nightmares anyway. This time I just won't wake up I guess.
