Is it normal to think you'll die young?

I thought I would die young, so I made every decade count with travel, career accomplishment, and experiences that stretched my horizons. I now feel such a deep satisfaction with life that I don't want to die, but would feel completeness with my past if I did.

And just what is the point in leaving your corpse in great physical condition? I'm going to wear the damn thing out and have a ball doing it.

My dad died young, at the same age as both of his parents.

In four weeks time (I hope) I will have outlived them.

Genetic predisposition? That's what he thought. Self-fulfilling prophecy? That's what I think.

When I was young I was certain I wouldn't live to see 30 I'm 44 years old now.

I'd like to die middle aged in my 50s. However, if I were to die in my 30s or 40s I wouldn't complain. Dying young would be better than growing old and suffering the consequences of it.

Hah! I was sure I was going to die young like two of my friends. Still fucking here!

All the time i was growing up i could never imagine myself getting older and i didn't want to get older either! But since finding the man i believe to be my soulmate (i know it sounds cheesy!) and i am happier than i ever thought i could be i have found that i want to grow old (with him) and even look forward to it!
i think this is a completely normal feeling so don't worry! x

No, I'm looking forward to the (hopefully) more mature version of myself.

25. Primarily because I am considering offing myself by that age.
