I expect that you did die many years ago.
You can imagine being many things, anything really.
Every thing you experience except your existence is an illusion, even your experience of you is an illusion. It really is.
Hobbies are great things to have, especially ones that do not involve too much thinking.
I can tell you that I exist, but of course that could just be part of the illusion you are fooling yourself with.
The only thing you know for certain, is that you do exist....for now.
But the question at hand is, what are you?
Will you exist tomorrow, or are you just a result of the laws of physics acting on energy, a light that came on and will go back out in time?
Or are you the energy behind that light, illuminating what you wish to see.
