Mortality is something I have been greatly struggling with lately, and I am neither sick nor old. But it's just tough to grapple with. By all accounts, life and this universe makes no damn sense, and for the most part, attempts to understand it are futile. We carve out little things that are interesting, but that's about it. And all that is ignoring the fatal flaws of humanity.

What's interesting is that I already share most of these regrets, and I am not dying, at least in the traditional sense since we are all dying. I think for the most part, all one can do in life is to just do. Be yourself but stop worrying about what yourself is. Treat any done project, not matter how small, as a good project. Look for little successes like that. And the older I get, the more I realize that relationships matter.

'Denial of Death' by Ernest Becker really helped me make sense of our own mortality. Can't recommend it highly enough.
