So I have a widget in my phone’s home screen tracking the days I have lived so far, to remind me of the time I have, and not to waste it.
I was sitting in the school dining hall, glancing at my phone to check the time and my friend remarked how it is weird that I’m counting the days I’m living.
I didn’t say anything but I’m confused about how is it weird. We are 15~16 y/o.

    It is wise, not weird.

    Not many could stand that thought. That’s why they get upset. You are mentally stronger.

    I remember how weird it came off when a coworker was announcing her 30th birthday with “One more year (or one less?)”

    Consider tracking your statistical life expectation too (it changes over time), and maybe an additional personal guess about how many remaining days you still got.
