hello! You're 21, go out and get smashed.
Oh and as for embracing death, yeah that could be kind of a cool thing to meditate upon, but face it, your christian ideology is a bit morbid.
You should be positive about life, and experience the ups and downs of it. All trials and tribulations help you grow mentally and spiritually, and the contemplation of the things in your life is a great accomplishment not done enough in this country.
Think about your job, your boyfriend, and the things that make you happy in life and whether or not you can pursue those things or not. Don't give up on your imagination and creativity just because you feel you are "outgrowing it" I feel that my imagination is the greatest joy I have in this life. That and my ability to reason.
Think about it, if you are spiritual and believe in God, then you must believe that your soul is immortal. So age really has nothing to do with it. I know this might sound a bit out there, but the point is you are very, very young. Don't give up on life just yet, avoid things that make you depressed, hang out with friends and have a good time.

Well, in school, we need to write an essay on that subject. I think that you can get up every day of your life happy, and thankfull to God on everything you have...family, friend, boys,helth, sometimes we just can't see how many things we had unless we lose some. You can retaining devaice of God's 10 order, you will know that this is right...You will feel fulfilled, I feel fulfilled when I pray for a person which need that now. And if you do so, you'll see one day how many people are happy because of you and you will easy except getting older

hey, you are 21, that's great!!
You have a whole life time ahead of you.
And you are a Christian, that's awesome.
Jesus was the happiest person ever, cause he lived his entire life in total surrender to God.
So give your life to God completely, he will help you to live life to the fullest.
Love him with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself, this is the secret of happiness. Find the best church in your locality, where the Pastors are Godly men, who really interact and care for the flock. And refuse to be discouraged cause all discouragement, depression is from the devil. God has great plans for you. Jeremiah 29:11

Do what you love.
Live every day as if it were your last.
Smile.
Don't worry about death, it will know when to come for you. Meanwhile, you are one of the tremendously lucky few who have the chance to have a handful of decades of conscious life to live. Make the most of them.

Don't live life like a routine, you should feel free, be unpredictable. Have fun, live life to the maximum. Like you say life is too short.
Oh, and you don't know when your going to die, it could be tomorrow or 90 years from now...

give your life to someone, donate your time and money to charities. have a baby to share your life with and teach how to live a good life. volenteer at church events and volenteer to help the homeless and the environment. fight for a cause that you believe in. hope it helps ya. btw its been scientificly proven that helping others has emotional and physical benifits to you.

You might want to have a chat with your doctor about this feeling that makes you "depressed." He/she may refer you to a counselor.
