Danuta told:

I often encountered such an opinion. Well yes, usually younger people say such words trivializing the fact that at this age I feel how I feel, and in general I don't like such talk, such superficial, coaching talk, that 'oh don't worry, it'll be fine, look, chin up, you have to think positively', it works on me like a red flag on a bull. (...) It is not about living by them [dark scenarios], arrange life around them, but to be aware, I don't know, maybe it comes from people not wanting to confront difficult things, well I somehow prefer to confront and prefer to think that death precisely and this isn't terrifying to me. Difficult topics aren't terrifying to me.
