Western Heaven

Most of us fear death. But why do we? It doesn't make sense that we fear something that we can't avoid. I have spent my whole life trying not to fear death. The only thing that gets me is the fact that, even though I'm Christian, I'm just not sure what comes after death. I know I want to go to heaven, but what's it like? Is it like everyone says? Streets of gold, happiness all around? Or is it different for everyone, a figment of heaven in their own mind, their own style? I hope that one day I may find myself up there, no matter what it is like. Where you do what's right for the fact that it is. I would try to entertain this western dream if I could, but I'm stuck here, working day in and day out. I need a break. I need a western heaven.
