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.

Just because things haven’t been great so far doesn’t mean they won’t be better in the future. I hope you are able to improve your life into something you want to experience.

Absolutely.

A. Even with how shit the world is there’s enough good that exists for it to be worth it.

B. If I didn’t exist, I would never have a chance to help improve the world in my small way.

No. And thats the reason i don’t have kids.

Humanity is rotten, and personally i don’t think we’ll ever change. The best thing that can happen to earth is for humanity to collapse and become extinct.
