We only *claim* to know what happens afterwards.
No one has seen it. At least I have not.
As an athiest, I can not claim to know what happens.
Maybe I am wrong, and there *is* an afterlife.
All I know, is that no one really knows, until they die.
So it is best to look at life, and try to live a good life.
Try to do good things.
Try to have fun.
Try to make the most out of it, because it might be the only life you have.
Maybe you will be reincarnated or something, or maybe not.
But all I know is that the entity that is you,
is only here from the time you are born, to the time you die.
You have a limited number of years, and then this life is over.
It might be over sooner than you think.
So don't waste it being miserable.
Don't waste it, hoping for something better in an afterlife.
Don't live you life, looking forward to a heaven that may not exist.
