The best part while reading this analysis in paragraph 3 "For me the huge thing that scares me about dying (which might seem weird) is to never think again, at times in my life I enjoy letting myself be swallowed by my own thoughts and visions and not being able to do this terrifies me." I actually disagree, from my point of view the scariest part of death is not dying but leaving the loved ones behind. You could've expanded this further by asking yourself: Why does it scare you? Past experience? Is there a specific thought/memory that you focus on when you immerse yourself in your thoughts?

While reading Michelle's response to her guest speaker's story I could easily relate to the topic of death and how we pretend tht "death isn't going to happen." Death is something that is inevitable and she expands on this throughout her writing, she even has the same fear about it as most people including myself do. The fear of not being able to think again once you die, is it like sleeping? I wonder, more than fear it is uncertainty.
My favorite quote from her writing is " Without realizing it we spend too much time on things we shouldn't. I like it because it is very true for me I used to pend so much in fact that it came to the point that I asked my self "what have I been doing for the past 2-3 years." and all that came to mind was amassing killing spree's online, something that I wish I could now cash in and get some of my time back.
One thing I thought she could have elaborated on is about how we all strive to leave an imprint on the world as if this would make us immortal, we all seem to be chasing that imaginary bone that will somehow make a difference in the world if we chase it.
