I'm 16, and honestly, the thought of one day just… not existing scares me. The idea that my consciousness will fade, and that'll be it. I remember Alex Hormozi once said something that hit me: life after death might just be like life before we were born. We didn’t remember a thing before we got here, so maybe that’s what comes after—just nothingness.
If that's true, then why spend my life just trying to make others happy or live up to their expectations? Why waste energy trying to fit into someone else's idea of what I should be?
From now on, I’m focusing on doing things for myself. Life's too short and too uncertain to be living someone else’s dream.
What do you think—should we live for ourselves or still focus on others, knowing one day it all fades to black?
