Before you come into the world, you have no conciousness. None that we're aware of anyway. But I wonder, because for me this is like the equivalent of mentally hitting a brick wall, or dividing by zero (OKAY, WHO DID IT?!) Essentially, before we develop our senses we have nothing. The universe doesn't exist to us yet. We're just a void in existence. Sure others will see our development, but we can't see them. I mean, honestly, do we take our existence for granted? How could we have lived with no touch, no hearing, no speech, no sight, no pain nor pleasure, no thinking, dreaming, hoping, or fearing? All the things we've come to expect- all the things we're born with. This seems extremely alien to me, even though we have all experienced this state of being before.

With the start of our individual lives, it's like time itself begins. There is no recorded history other than what we experience and read about. In my opinion, this view is like solipism- everything exists inside our minds (i think that's how it works.) I could be just an imaginary person created by someone else, and you could just be created by me. Sure, the laws of physics and studies about psychology in our world apply, but who says they always have or always will?

IMHO this should be turned into a creepypasta, but it better be handled competently. I think I start to drift off around the end and stop making as much sense. It's getting late and I'm tired. Give me your opinions soon.
