“Your death ain't gonna be some grand, dramatic exit. It will come on an ordinary, aggressively mundane day, right in the dead middle of your meticulously unfinished plans. You’re gonna drop dead on a random, unremarkable Tuesday afternoon. You’ll be in the middle of complaining about the traffic, or worrying about your 401k, or drafting an email to someone you don't even like. You're gonna leave behind a half-finished to-do list pinned to the fridge with a cheap magnet. There will be wet laundry sitting in the dryer. You will die with a whole lot of 'somedays' still tucked uselessly in your pocket.” Reality CheckMemento MoriThe New SincerityExistential DreadModern TragedyVisceral RealityMain Character SyndromeSomeday SyndromeThe Banality Of DeathWet Laundry Grief Book:Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken” Source: Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”
