For some reason, I think I'm either going to die through a car crash or suicide. The suicide isn't the weird part, the car crash is.

See, I was born on July 1st and I have borderline personality disorder. Who shares those same traits? Princess Diana. (well actually people don't know for sure if she had BPD, but there were definitely symptoms) She died in a car crash. My parents almost named me Diana. My last name is Young. If they had named me Diana, people would probably end up calling me Di. I would then be Di Young. Guess who died young? Princess Diana.

I know it's kind of odd, and kind of stupid, but it really scares me sometimes!
This sounds a little bit like OCD.
