if we're talking about consciousness? i honestly don't really care. it'd be cool to believe that reincarnation exists and that i could be, like, a cat in my next life, but the likelihood of that seems slim. i'm perfectly fine with the idea of me just not existing at all once i'm dead. what we leave behind (for me, my music and the (hopefully mostly positive) impact i've had on other people) matters more.

physically, i love that we become food of the earth. we decay, which feeds other organisms and helps sustain life.
