If you had the choice to be born would you have been born?

To be able to make such choice implies that I already exist in some form.

And I’d probably be too afraid of non-existence to choose not being born.

Life sucks, but I also don’t want to “not-exist”. Its terrifying.

Can I just be a ghost floating around and just “chill” and observe? Perhaps in the company of other ghosts to talk to…

Non-existence isn’t scary, scary thing is losing your existence.

Same thing that happened before. You were fine with not existing before hand.
