imagine if everyone lived an exact length of time, like 85 years, 2 months, 8 days, 3 hours, 17 minutes and 25 seconds and once they reach that they automatically instantaneously explode
The problem is that everyone is different and starts out with a completely random number for that “limited number” of heartbeats. No one knows what your number is until you hit it. And then it’s to late.

Bold of you to assume I’m listening to my heart instead of ignoring all my problems.
Not if I donate my heart after death
It’s not a countdown if you don’t know how many total you have. It’s just a timer. A countdown is counting down to zero.
Mine is EDM because it’s 160 bpm
