This was a hilarious yet slightly existential gut punch - bloody love it. “Our soul pays for it” really hit home. My inner voice is basically the risk-averse CEO of my life, but reading this makes me wonder if I should start staging a corporate takeover. Maybe not full send off a mountain like hitchhiker chap, but at least something more daring than my usual “let’s just stay inside” routine. Great read! Siggy xx

I loved this! Thank you for sharing it. My father transitioned two years ago— it was the first time someone closed to me died! I realized that after a couple of days… it’s like he never existed, outside of the stories I had of him and the photos. It solidified my belief that life is short and no one cares! And not in a sad way,but in a way that freed me. Life is meant to be lived. To have fun. I told myself I would experience as much as I could while I was alive! And I’ve been releasing the fears as they have presented themselves to me — so that I can live. Truly live! Today I feel like I am alive! I live what some may call risky, but seriously, what do we really have to lose ?! 🧐 I know there are things worst then death, but I want to enjoy this life and all that I’ve been provided to make that a thing! This article pumped me upppp! I got some experiencing to do 😬🎉🥰
