Have you ever once imagined a world without you? An alternate plane of existence in which you never exist. It's not the same as dying, or going missing. Simply, never being born. Never even being thought up of. A world where "you" were never there. Think of how the world would be affected if you were simply removed without a trace. Everything you've ever owned, all the interactions you've ever had, any life changing experience you've shared with someone else, all of that gone.
Have you really affected the people around you in such a significant way that their whole lifestyle would be altered completely from how you know them? Have you really left any lasting mark on the world that can't be fulfilled by anyone else? If so, what happens when that mark is gone?
Would it cause the people around you more good than harm if you never existed? If you never came to be, would the lives of those you know be better than they are today?
What of your parents? Would they be better off not having you? Have you caused them deep grief or despair, to the point where you feel they sometimes regret ever having you? Of course, in such a world, you wouldn't even exist at all, so they wouldn't feel saddened by your absence. Or, perhaps, would they be lonely without you? If so, would they try to fill that void by granting life to another being anyway?
If all of your failures, successes, personal belonging, relationships; everything that makes "you", simply vanished entirely one day, would it really matter?
