My best friend used to bitch at me for being so careful all the time when I was younger. “Bro, fucking just look at this snake! Quit being afraid of everything. Someone could run your ass over with a car on the walk back home and you’d bleed out wishing you had done something.”
He died at 18 in a car accident.
I mean, well, I always speak that attitude. I’m still not going around looking for danger. I do what I enjoy, which is modest by any standards, but if I wanted to eat nothing but ice cream and weigh 500lbs I would do just that.
No matter what I do, I’ll die. No matter how much I loved or hated it, I won’t remember any of it.
I have always had that attitude.

“Don’t take life too seriously, nobody makes it out alive, anyway.”
Versions of that have been attributed to various famous folks, and also versions have been in movies and other media.
