I've been back and forth a bunch for the past hour on if I should make this its own thread or if I should just post it in my "talk about your aspect" thread (https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/t/talk-about-your-aspect)
if you're reading this, then I made it a thread. wahoo.
so, a very essential part of Time is death, and I think about death a lot.
but people don't like talking about death! and that's fair, I can understand why. it's sad! it is simply quite sad when those we love die, that's obvious enough. and so thinking about it makes people sad, and there's a very avoidant culture about death and sadness in general that means that whenever I bring it up, I'm almost always reminding someone of something they've been forcefully ignoring for most of their lives.
and this sucks! I think people should, on the whole, spend more time processing their emotions around death. it makes the experience of thinking about it significantly less Explosive.
but I also am not going to be the one to make people do that, because that's not my job and it's not my place to inflict that on people. and while it is pretty easy to avoid talking about it, it does mean that I have like a LOT of thoughts about it that I just never have been able to share with anyone. and that sucks.
I'm not going to put those thoughts here (at least not right now because I should be sleeping), but I wanted to share this whole basic experience and ask...
do you have anything like this? are there things about your aspect that you feel like you can't discuss with people for whatever reason? what are those things? and, if you're brave, feel free to discuss those things in detail! put a content warning on it if necessary, but I really want to hear about your inner world! tell me your deep dark ~forbidden~ thoughts about your aspect
