I think my list would look fairly similar to yours.

I’m afraid of dying without learning as much as I can.

This one in particular strikes me as interesting. I feel like that sometimes when I'm enjoying a science books/documentaries. I enjoy being amazed and having my imagination stimulated, but I also start longing to know everything I possibly can, and I am saddened that it will someday come to an end.
