Rise And Shine!
...it's a beautiful morning. And on days like this I especially enjoy my way to work, which just so happens to lead me through a huge old graveyard called Vår Frelsers Gravlund – the final resting place of such famous Norwegians like Edvard Munch or Henrik Ibsen.
I think, this place is actually helping me a little to overcome my huge fear of death. The thought of once being no more seems slightly less dramatic, if it's with the prospect of spending 'the time after' in a beautiful place like this. Even though I'm probably not gonna care anymore at that point...

This is kinda weird. I dont fear death at all but thinking about me rotting in a graveyard gives me the creeps.

i guess it is kinda morbid to see a graveyard as a 'happy place'. they also used to freak me out cause they're such a big reminder of our mortality and just plain ugly, crammed and uninspired. i always thought, that's not where i'd wanna 'be' after my passing away. but this place, i don't know, it's so peaceful and cozy. it'd be more like being buried in your favorite spot on earth...
