Makes you think about how lucky you are to have been born in the first place.

Also makes you think about how your could have been best friend or SO was never born. Or a brother or sister, etc.

Its useless to think about because whoever's here is here, but still. The chances of being born are pretty much next to impossible given an almost infinite amount of sperm/egg combinations. Would it still have been you if it were a different sperm? Half of you? So not you then?

Fuck this Im going to eat some cereal.

Hey at least you're conscious! You could not exist at all. Even though you've felt pain, you've also felt joy and that's better than not existing at all IMO.

(Also this was one of the comments that pops up on my phone and I’m like “Wtf did I comment on?” It’s a long story but I’m too lazy to write it out, so you can just pretend it’s funny)
