Strangely, in my early twenties, I was very afraid of dying, for all the things I could have done, and all the things I never understood or felt, and so on.
I was lucky to meet and marry a wonderful person that helped me push through all the obstacles I imagined were between me and all those things (I mention them because I would never have done all I did without their presence), and I started doing all the things I would've missed if I were dead.
Being around 30 now, I've done so much more than most people I've met, and than I imagine I would in a lifetime when I was 20, that I feel comfortable with my life. I know that I have not wasted my time, and I'm proud of all I've done and am still doing.
Things like aneurysms and car accidents happen to everyone, and I don't fool myself - I could die in 15 minutes slipping out of the bath - but I'm fine with myself, at this point at least.
(I'm sorry this is probably not very interesting, I'm letting myself ramble a little.)
