Soon We’ll Be Dead: Anonymous #2

Hey folks, I hope you're all doing well.

Just wanted to let you know this is the last issue of SWBD for a bit.

I want to thank everyone who has participated and also those who have been reading along. Ty for being here.

For the next little while, I'll be focusing on writing my one-page zines again, playing in my sketchbook, writing in my journal, and generally trying to work on my mental health as I navigate family/life stuff.

Take good care

Do you have a website, blog, or socials?

No

Are you scared of death?

Yes, for fear of how it will happen, but not for ending life.

What do you think happens when we die? Where do we go?

We die, and our bodies rot, but I am hopeful that some small part of us (energy, soul, etc.) becomes part of something bigger.

Do you have a sense of purpose in life? What were you put on this Earth to do?

To be a good father and husband. To make people laugh. To learn from those I admire and then teach the ones I love. To strive for success, knowing the definition of success constantly changes.

What makes a meaningful life?

To better the human condition. Leave the planet a little better of than when I got here.

What would you regret the most if you were to die today?

Not seeing "The Last of Us.” Also, not clearing my browser history.

How do you want to be remembered?

As a good parent to my kids, a good teacher who changed the lives of some of his students, and a good friend.

Is it important to you to leave a legacy behind?

My children are the only legacy I care about.

What are you most proud of in your life?

My kids

Would you rather be cremated or buried? Why?

Cremated or buried in soil in a mushroom suit, maybe. The body is nothing after we die. Release it back to nature.

What do you want your epitaph to say?

"Something funny"

What would be the worst/best way to die for you?

Worst is probably something claustrophobic or ironic. Best is peaceful and quick, but maybe being able to say goodbye?

What are your five "Bucket List" (for lack of a better term) things you want to do before you die? What things are important to you that you want to experience, learn, or do?

I would like to see my children grow up and have children of their own I would like to improve my relationships with my wife, friends, and some family I would like to solve a noteworthy science or technical problem I would like to be mindful and happy I would like to be a better person
