Oh god im 27. Now im gonna be paranoid about cancer. I need to stop drinking and smoking. Godspeed, anon. If I were you, I would save up some hardcore painkillers, like maybe dilaudid if you can get it. Stay alive as long as you can enjoy things. When you feel like the worse is coming, down a bottle of those bad boy with some scotch or whatever you like to drink. And make sure to lay on your side or stomach so you don't choke on your own vomit in case you puke. That wouldn't be a good way to go. But an opioid death would be blissful.

I'd say that if you really take stock, you'll realise that there's quite a lot of life that fits into 25 years. Everyone misses out on the future beyond their death. Focus on what you didn't miss out on. Some trees grow tall, some grow short, they're trees all the same. Life is what it is.

Ok, new plan.

Pretend you don't have cancer, write a book about the last few months of your life as you knowingly commit to killing yourself in the next 6 months as some protest against reality itself. The human element and the fact you actually do kill yourself as you claim will make it compelling and you will live on as a bestseller for 20 something faggots in Starbucks across the world for all eternity or at least 20-30 years.

It sucks that you got that bad luck but at least you are free now. You really have nothing to lose. Im not saying that you should go crazy and ttravel the world but do what would make you happy. Sell the stuff you dont need, get a parttime job, ask for a credit dunno, whatever, and spend your last 6 months smoking weed and listening to the smiths if that makes you happy, go bang 3 different hari colored whores at the same time, throw a coin form the top of the talles building you can find.

>To comprehend the whole world together in thy mind, and the whole course of this present age to represent it unto thyself, and to fix thy thoughts upon the sudden change of every particular object. How short the time is from the generation of anything, unto the dissolution of the same; but how immense and infinite both that which was before the generation, and that which after the generation of it shall be. All things that thou seest, will soon be perished, and they that see their corruptions, will soon vanish away themselves. He that dieth a hundred years old, and he that dieth young, shall come all to one.

- Marcus Aurelius

>When death appears as an evil, we ought immediately to remember that evils may be avoided, but death is necessity. For what can I do, or where can I fly from it?

>Where shall I fly from death? Show me the place; show me the people to whom I may have recourse, whom death doth not overtake. Show me the charm to avoid it If there be none, what would you have me do? I cannot escape death; but cannot I escape the dread of it ? Must I die trembling and lamenting? For the origin of the disease is wishing for something that is not obtained.

- Epictetus

Read the Moral Discourses of Epictetus.

Good and evil lie only in our choices. What is out of our control is neither good nor bad, but indifferent. Death is out of our control, therefore it is indifferent. Moreover, it is inevitable.

While what happens to us, such as illness and death, is out of our control, our reactions to those things are under our control. Is it ever enjoyable to be afraid, anxious or depressed? No. Is it ever even useful? No. You must die, but you don't have to die depressed. That at least is in your power.

>but you sit trembling, for fear this or that should happen; and lamenting, and mourning, and groaning at what doth happen; and then you accuse the gods. For what is the consequence of such a meanspiritedness, but impiety? and yet God hath not only granted us these faculties, by which we may bear every event without being depressed or broken by it; but, like a good prince, and a true father, hath rendered them incapable of restraint, compulsion, or hindrance, and entirely dependent on our own pleasure: nor hath he reserved a power, even to him" self, of hindering or restraining them. Having these things free, and your own, will you make no use of them, nor consider what you have received, nor from whom? but sit groaning and lamenting, some of you, blind to him who gave them, and not acknowledging your benefactor; and others, basely turning yourselves to complaints and accusations of God?

He was complaining about pain for something like three months before that, but in your 60s any pain can be anything and it was assumed it was his chronic back pain so it went like that for a while, 2 months into that he didn't want to be doing anything physical, and then one night it was so bad we took him in, he was there for two weeks and that was that. It's a bitch but I suppose not as bad as the alternative of dragging it out over a long time and just withering.
So if you really want to do all that cliche mountain climbing seizing the day type stuff now would be the time to do it.

This is interesting.

Once upon a time there was a number
Pure and round like the sun
But alone very much alone

It began to reckon with itself

It divided multiplied itself
It subtracted added itself
And remained always alone

It stopped reckoning with itself
And shut itself up in its round
And sunny purity

Outside were left the fiery
Traces of its reckoning

They began to chase each other through the dark
To divide when they should have multiplied themselves
To subtract when they should have added themselves

That's what happens in the dark

And there was no one to ask it
To stop the traces
And to rub them out.

Learn to love OP.

I learned something a while back when an old girlfriend of mine committed suicide. My apologies, but I'm a bit of one of the /poet/ry fags of /lit/, so I'm about to just drop some shit real quick that I hope will deliver what I'm trying to say better than my normal sperging ass would.

"I fell in love in a dream last night.
Upon a transitioning in the dream, I lost her.
And I did everything I could to come back to her.
I took over my dream. And I couldn't recreate her.
And then I woke up.
And realized, that it doesn't matter. I can't get her back.
And thus I've decided to treat every human this way.
Like one day they may mean the whole world to me.
And then the next moment I'll never see them again.
You don't know when a person will die. Or when a person will just decide that they're done.
I don't mean you need to fall in love with every person.
You don't have to grow over attached to every person you meet.
Because then you just hurt yourself.
But you need to show every person that you meet, love.
Because one day life will transition.
And you'll try to bring back whatever there once was.
And you'll do everything to come back.
And it just won't work.
Things don't work that way.
You'll realize that."

Your dream is about to end mate. Learn to love. Learn to show love. Fall in love.

Make a book of your own.
The brother of one of my aunt's friends killed himself and left a book of poems as sucide note. He even went to publish it and made several copies of it. No-one has read any of 'em, sadly, except for me and some other relatives and friends of this woman in question.

If reading philosophy (as a way to self-improvement, or, to reduce the angst) isn't enough then maybe it's worth giving charity work a try. I don't know who or how you are as a person but I believe there's a possiblity for anyone to gain a bit of redemptive and meaningful experience from unselfishly aiding people that otherwise are willfully forgotten by society. Give it a thought OP. I wish you the least terrible of journeys.

Be honest with yourself OP, and try to do the one thing in your power to do that you have always wanted but have been hemmed in by insecurity or stigmatization, regardless of morality.
Finally, when the time comes, take your death into your own hands and die like a man instead of like whimpering flesh subject to a cellular parasitic disease. Die screaming, in that moment you will feel the most alive you will ever have felt in your existence

I've tried to kill myself with before, woke up after failing with my heart rate over 200 and almost suffocating due to respiration depression, dragged myself to a phone and called an ambulance. It was incredibly painful but made me appreciate the sensation of living enough that I haven't tried to do it since. What your body does when it struggles with every ounce of energy to survive is a bizarre, vitalizing experience
