By the time you get to that age you've lost so many younger friends and family that in comparison the prospect of your own death doesn't feel so unfair. Instead it feels like a privilege to draw breath.
- anonzzzies 2y agoOnce loved ones or you had something serious at mostly any age this feeling will creep in. I had a bout with cancer at 35 and had friends die from different things (mostly suicide) that I have been feeling privileged for being alive since my mid thirties (I am in my 50s now). I think it was a gift... and a curse, to be ill quite young; nothing that other people care so much about during their 'working years' means anything in the grand scheme of things.
