You will die
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but immortality is a myth. At some point, you will die. And the fun part is you have no idea when it will be. Could be tomorrow. Could be 50 years from now. I believe you only get one go, and once it’s over it’s over. No do-overs.
This is a reason why Life is Suffering and Everything Changes.
Instead of moping, you should count yourself lucky that you get to be here at all and Embrace the Wonder of Being Alive.
Don’t behave as if you are destined to live forever. What’s fated hangs over you. As long you live and while you can, become good now —Marcus Aurelius
