Not really proud of this story. I’ve been in a slump lately. I think it’s the depression reaching up to grab me again. Shrug, just some thoughts floating around in my head.

I like it! It’s like you characterize atheism. It reads well, too.

definitely depression that makes you apathetic.
I like the "did you do what you wanted?’ question. Because no matter what you believe, you have goals and want to to do something with your life.

“Life is but a breath…”

But you can become part of Eternity. That’s the point.

Nice piece. Sums up how I felt about 3 years ago. I think the best quote I heard about this sort of thing was “Life has no dress rehersal.”

Take it from me, it’s much better being an optimistic, depressed atheist. Right now I’m pretty down, but also vaguely certain that things will turn out alright. I’m just hoping that I don’t get proven wrong.
