doubting the future

I was reading a different thread, and an user said something along the lines of him having a feeling his life would be over within the next year or two.

This is a feeling I have always had. I never imagined anyone else would though.

I have always felt my time was soon to be over. As a teenager I never thought I was gonna see my 18th birthday. Then it was my 21st I just knew I wouldn't make it to. So on and so forth. Now, at 28 years old, it is the big 30 I doubt seeing.

It doesn't upset me though. Or, rather, it upsets me that I've been wrong for so long.

these feelings are just imaginative , not reality , so don't take them too seriously , the future doesn't exist , only the present is changing , as long as you focus on the present moment there is nothing else that you should worry about , you are alive now and this is what matters

28, 30 it's all the same it's just a number you'll look the same you don't age theres alot of other people that are only focused on themselves and what they know use that to your advantage and live for yourself.

You know...I used to think the same thing. When I was 15 I didn't think I would make it to 16. But somehow I did...and a lot of years have passed by since then, and here I still am. It is a good thing too. I really don't want to be dead, no matter how much I do think about death. We have to take it one day at a time and not think in terms of years 'cause that is overwhelming!

In my thirties I thought I might be gone by my forties. Now I am almost 50 and probably fitter than I've been for years.

I remember quite vividly when I started high school in 1998 and I thought, "wow, I'll graduate in 2003. It'll never be 2003!" Well now it's getting to the end of 2011 and how fast has that gone? The years have brushed by in a blink.

My ex is currently 27 and she said she's always thought she'll never hit 40.

I am the same, though. I wonder if I'll ever make it to 30, being 25 now. It's a scary thought (thinking about the future) and I never try to. I've always said I'll be lucky to make it to 60, but we'll see.

I also think that my parents will outlive me.

I've had these feelings before, feeling like you'll never make it to however many years. I remember when I was 14, which also happened to be my lowest point, I thought I'd never graduate high school, never get to experience college. Well, I graduated this year, and I'm in college.

I don't doubt the future as much as I used to though. If anything, I often question what I'll be doing, what my life will be like in 5, 10, whatever years.
