Death is in the background of everything. Every relationship eventually ends in it. Every plan is made in the shadow of it. Most people have thought about it in ways they've never told anyone — their own death, the deaths of people they love, what it means that this is how things end.
The social response to honest discussion of death is discomfort. People pivot away from it, wrap it in euphemism, make reassuring noises. So the honest version stays internal.
Anonymous thoughts about death posted here are the version that couldn't be said elsewhere. No pivot. No reassurance. Just the honest account of what it's like to think about the thing that can't be avoided.
