I would like to think about it when it actually happens.

This means: I would think about it if it happened. right?

I am just trying to break it down to understand.

I hear this as I don't want to think about it until it happens.

The sentence feels incomplete. It seems to want to say I would like to wait until it happens before I think about it.
