I think it's a terrible thing to write and not enjoy it. It's a sad thing. But of course a lot of people do work because they need to eat. And we all need to eat, but that's not the only reason to work. You couldn't have paid me not to write. ↗

I am afraid of death, scared by it. I already don't know whether I exist or not. So dying really terrifies me. ↗
