It may sound morbid or dark. But I don’t look much into the future. I never had long-term goals. It may be because I always think of worst case scenarios and since I have lived through a couple of them I don’t know how long will I last against them.
Short life, making the maximum people in my life happy. Maybe give them some cherished memories to hold on to. Be the reason that someone smiled today.
If I ever do consider a long life, it would mostly be in solitude with all my affairs in order with a will to fulfill any obligations that would occur after I die. That way, the people who love me can move along with their life with the most minimal disruption.
But to those who see a long life for themselves, I admire you and I hope one day I too can start dreaming of the future.

I find myself in strong agreement with your perspective. Like you, i believe that the essence of a fulfilling life is not necessarily found in its length. Living meaningfully matters
