i remember new years 1999 when they said the world would end, Y2K, etc. i fully expected the world to explode or that there would be a black hole that would suck the world away or something.

i have a complete opposite problem though where i (and parts of me) fear the world ending, loss, death, etc. uncertainty is terrifying..knowing things will just one day end is terrifying....and i/we don't want to be left alone (again) in those kinds of situations...cuz there is also the fear that everyone else will be gone except for us...not sure why.

some things just stick with us, i guess, for whatever reason.
