Today I thought about dying. Well not really just dying in general, mainly dying on a plane crash. That's a slow to instant death. You're on that plane for who knows how long before it finally explodes and/or crashes to the ground. The death itself is instant, but the time before probably slows down.
I remember in my 7th grade science class we learned about how the brain takes more snapshots per second when in times of danger or great stress. It's just so fascinating that the human mind can slow time itself.
But the thoughts that I got, thinking about my feelings of this, they didn't surprise me, as I come up with all kinds of crazy ideas. Then my friend told me on the bus that she was bored, so I told her to think about just that.
She told me it was depressing.
Being on that plane, it was scary as hell, and I wasn't even really on it. I pictured myself screaming my lungs into submission, but my mind was calm. It made me think of the scene from "Legend of the Guardians" when Soren was flying through the storm.
While crashing in a plane is not anywhere close to being beautiful, I pictured that knowing that I'd be in heaven in almost seconds, made me have this calm peaceful resign. Giving up wasn't hard, it was just the right thing to do and the last thing I could think was "Remember me in honor"
Well on that lovely note, I'm going to go enjoy the rest of my Friday.
