I have this feeling sometimes when I'm in depression mode, my siblings don't want to play with me or I am reading a book and I relate to the character, I feel sad inside and wonder: "Why am I here?" because you're right, if we all die what is the point of doing anything? It's fun to pass time or to enjoy yourself, but then eventually you die and it is all gone. If we could live forever, I would be happier than ever, ride horses all the time, save a species or two, and explore the world. I have made an impact on people, actually saved her life by doing so, and I am happy about it. But when I die, what will it have been done for? I also feel that my parents put all the weight on my shoulders, because I am the oldest out of 3, and I think he sees his other daughter (my stepsister) in me, so he wants me to grow up successfully and be happy. But he is never happy, and I wish that my life wasn't like this, I wish my dad was happier and my parents wouldn't argue as much, and get along. (Fights are worse now)...I agree with you completely here, ~Thyme~.
As for possessions I'd want - Only my internet history, and my two favorite stuffed animals: Tigger and Puppy. They are very special to me and I'd want them buried with me, nobody even my kids would be aloud to touch them, I have had them since I was 3.
Thanks for posting this ~Thyme~, I can really relate to what you're feeling and I think a lot of others (from reading all of these others) can.
I could post a huge speech of my view on this subject but I'll just save you the time.. xD
Whenever I feel sad and depressed about something I just tend to watch this:
