This post explains a lot about your embrace of life, Arman. Life is fragile. Indeed.

It was something I needed to get off my chest. I was shocked by the emotions that came up while writing it. Definitely felt therapeutic. Thanks for reading!

Oof felt my heart sink reading this. Would be so interesting to look back on our lives after we’ve died to see how many near death experiences we actually evaded.

I feel like a lot of us could use a bunch of little audio or visual alarms spread throughout our days and our spaces to help us question more often whether we’re inadvertently in auto pilot mode. So thanks for today’s alarm clock Arman!

That's a great idea. I have a memento mori coin on my bedside table that says "you could leave life right now". Every day really is a gift.
