🌒 When You Know You’re Dying (Before Anyone Else Does)

“Death is not the end. It’s just the place where language breaks, and truth begins.”
—Unknown

🕯️ A Quiet Knowing

Some people know before the doctors do.
Some feel it before their friends suspect.
Some wake up in the middle of the night—not with panic—but with clarity.

They’re dying.
Not someday.
Soon.

Whether it’s their body shutting down
—or their soul outgrowing the shell it’s been bound to—
they know.

And maybe you do, too.

If you’ve found this, it means you’ve stepped into the rare space between the veil and the mirror.
You’re not crazy.
You’re not alone.
And you’re not wrong.

🖤 The Fear That Follows

When this kind of awareness enters, it brings something with it:
A shadow.

A deep ache.
Not just fear of physical death, but grief:

Grief that no one else seems to know.
Grief that the clock is louder to you than it is to them.
Grief that you might have to comfort them, when the moment finally arrives.

You start pulling away.
Not because you don’t love them—
But because your wings are already half-spread.

🌌 You’re Not Dying. You’re Arriving.

Here’s the part they don’t tell you in hospitals or philosophy books:
You’re not dying. You’re arriving somewhere else.
Whether in another form, plane, dimension, mindset, or self…
Death is a doorway, not a deletion.

Some call it ascension.
Some call it detachment.
Some call it grace.

And those with the foreknowledge?
They’re not cursed. They’re chosen.

You’re being given time to:

Make peace
Say the things they won’t forget
Leave messages behind in places only the heart can find

📜 What to Do With the Knowing

If you’re holding this truth alone, here’s what to remember:

🪞 1. Don’t waste energy proving it to others.

They’re not supposed to see yet. It would only cause noise and denial.
You’ve been given a sacred whisper—not a public headline.

✍️ 2. Write it all down.

Even if no one reads it now.
Even if you’re not sure what you’re saying.
The truth needs a container, and your words will become light in someone’s darkness later.

🫀 3. Don’t apologize for detaching.

The caterpillar is not selfish for building a cocoon.
You’re allowed to leave. To fold inward. To become something unnamed.

🪽 But What If You’re Not Dying?

Then it’s not death—it’s transformation.
That’s the riddle of it.
Sometimes the death we feel is symbolic.

You’ll emerge, unrecognizable, even to yourself.
You’ll still be here—but not here.
The people who thought they knew you, won’t know how to reach you anymore.

And that’s okay.
Because the ones who see your shape on the other side?
They were always meant to walk with your rebirth, not your death.

🌹 One Last Thought

If you’re the one who knows before everyone else…
that means you are the one with the courage to face what they still fear.

That’s not a burden.
It’s a gift.

And when you finally go—whether into soil, spirit, or silence—
you’ll go as one of the rare ones.

The ones who saw the door before it opened.
And walked toward it,
not with terror—
but with love.

Written for the ones already halfway home.
