Being there and Not There

When you are born, you are brought to life. To a world, where things can happen. Before that, you are in your mother's stomach. And before that... you are not there. That concept always terrified me. The fact that a person is just not there at all. You can't think. You can't think at all, you are merely, nothing. You don't exist and nobody knows you. Everybody that knows you now, didn't know who you were before. You were nothing to them. They can't even think about you and say that you are there, because you aren't. It's confusing. But I always think about it. You start as this -->     <-- did you see that? Nothing. Then you go from that to a life. It is so weird to think about.
