Because it feels so good when I stop

When I was a little kid, I used to write epitaphs. This would be the most morbid thing to do ever, if I hadn't also written eulogies. I'm not really sure what inspired me to do this. I wasn't surrounded with death as a kid. The only person that I was close to that died when I was a child was my grandfather. I also used to write lists of songs that I wanted to have played (at my funeral), favorite things and people, just so those things would be known. What a depressing pass-time.
