happiness is just like the horizon line. no matter how far you travel towards it, you'll never actually reach it.
it's just better to enjoy life as it's happening, don't dewell too much on what's already past, since it doesn't change, and don't obsess too much about the future, because tomorrow never comes.
personally, I see life as a book, and honestly, I'd like mine to be interesting.

I'm really happy to be alive and just go with the flow through life.

Life is short. I want to enjoy it before it ends for me.

I'm sure everyone has their own reasons for fearing death, and for loving life. It's a general, but personal question that some people aren't even quite sure of the answer. As for me, yes I fear the pain that may come with death, but that's about it. Seeing what happens beyond the veil is just another part of existing, in my opinion; perhaps it's a black void where you have no real consciousness, maybe a heaven with fluffy white clouds or a hell with rivers of blood, or it could be a huge library with all of one's memories and history lining the shelves. Being forgotten? Meh. I won't be around to realize I've been forgotten. And as long as I make a strong enough influence on those close to me, then they'll tell their children about me, and perhaps try and follow in my footsteps. I don't aspire to become the first human to land on Mars, or to become President, or anything too grand... as long as someone remembers me and has fond memories of me, that's all that really matters.
A wise man's words come to mind. "To have a life worth remembering, you must live a life worth living."

Ahh, but see? That's where things get intricate. What is the definition of "a life worth living"? Everyone has different standards and different things they want to do with their life. Some people want to live life on the edge, as a stuntman or a race car driver or an FBI Agent, others would be perfectly content to live in peace as a teacher or an author. There is no specific definition of "a life worth living"; everyone defines it for themselves, based on what they personally believe in.
I know that there are things on this earth that I have to do. I don't know what they are yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm headed in the right direction. As long as I am reaching toward the goal of improving life for myself and others, I am very happy with my life. As for dying, as Shakespeare said, Death, the undiscovered country from which no man returns. It's the next great adventure. A new freedom. I'm not saying I want to die. I'm just saying it's gonna be a wild ride when I do!
I'm definitely happy to be alive, I love life and appreciate so much about it, even the little things like waking up early to catch a glimpse of that beautiful sunrise, or to find a flower in a field full of grass. \^____^/ Though I'd have to say that my music, imagination, family and friends make me so happy <3 Oh, and Disneyland. XD

I'm just afraid of death xD I see my life as meaningless but I also don't want to die, since I'm trying to improve step by step.

I'm too busy with living to be bothered by the question "what if you die". I'll see "what if" when I do. :/
Happy to be alive, not scared to die. I don't see the point of being scared of death if there's no stopping it.

The past is over and the future is uncertain. I just do my utmost to enjoy life as it is right now.
I'm kind of both. But more on just scared to die and be forgotten.
First, I AM happy to be alive since some people don't get to live as long as I do.
Second, I AM afraid of death. That's why I really don't want to think about it.
Last, be forgotten. I know I'm not going to be a famous hotshot internationally and even locally. But I just don't want to be forgotten by the people I've interacted with. I'm trying my best to make a mark on the world and I'd like to let it show that I was a part of this world.

Yea I'm happy to be alive, if I wasn't alive then I couldn't be happy. And as for death well death is just another video game in our lives, one that we must all play.
I'm not scared to die and be forgotten, because I've been forgotten many times while being alive, so meh.(I do fear a painful death, however). I'm actually happy to be alive because of my dear lover and for many times I feel that he's everything to me, and I'd be scared to die because I'd lose him.
No Mercy,
No Remorse.

I believe that life is a gift, and as long you're living just do the good things and you will be remembered. I can honestly say, if you think you'll die and everyone will forget you its not true. At least one person will remember you (and miss you, of course). Its better than none, right? There are people who unfortunately die too soon and they desperately want to hold onto life, but they can't. Its a sad thing when I think about it. I'm happy to be alive I wake up every morning and I'm thankful to live another day. If I were to die at anytime, well... I'm not scared. I'm just upset that I can't do more for people I love and perhaps its just my time to be gone anyway. I know I'm not forgotten, its not my worry.
