Probably helps that I was raised religious. That's one of the perks, honestly believing you're immortal. But now, even though I no longer believe in God or an afterlife, I don't seriously fear death. Every time I start to wonder about it or worry that I'm getting too old, I just remind myself that nothing's stopping me from getting out there and living as full a life as I want. Psychological displacement, I suppose.
