I can hardly be afraid of the end when I fear the journey. | dG1fX0w0RGRxVjh6ejg

00:00I can't stop thinking about it.
00:14It terrifies me.
00:40Sometimes it's easy to forget.
00:41Forget about time, forget about the beginning and the end.
00:48Usually, it's easy for me to escape and be absorbed by it all, but occasionally, my mind
00:56wanders down a dark pathway.
01:00There's no foreseeable end to it, and my head throbs the farther I travel.
01:06The question why strikes me as a blade deep and agonizing.
01:11For the longest time, I was convinced I was fearless.
01:15I was a leader, a warrior.
01:20Even the most courageous are afraid of something, and it's taken me a long time for me to realize
01:26that.
01:27Avoidance may seem the best option, but what do you do when you can't escape your fears?
01:34I'm afraid of life itself.
01:37Many are afraid of death, but I can hardly be afraid of the end when I fear the journey.
01:44The passage is terrifying, and I walk it blindly, not knowing where it ends, but why I'm even
01:49walking down the path.
01:54Then it all disappears.
01:58I drift into slumber, or I'm being swept away by someone calling my name.
02:04I forget it all.
02:06Life seems pretty normal.
02:08I have friends and family to support me, and I have ambitious dreams for the future.
02:14Unfortunately, thinking about the future brings me back into a hazy twilight.
02:21The future seems so far away, maybe because it can never be reached.
02:27As far as I know, there's only now.
02:34Still, I can't help but think what the now will be like in the future.
02:38The world will be very different, or maybe it'll be the same.
02:47The worst part about thinking of the future is the hard slap that reminds me of my mortality.
02:57I'm going to die someday, and everyone I love and care for will perish as well.
03:05Even our great planet Earth will someday be swallowed up by the sun in a fiery blaze.
03:17Then it stops.
03:19My mind comes out of the dark, turns on the lights, and says,
03:23Stop worrying, just enjoy the ride.
03:53Thanks for watching!
