When I was a teenager I felt this way. I didn't ask to be here, and so far life has sucked pretty hard.

My stance has softened as I've aged. I still wish I'd never been born, mind you, but I don't blame my parents for having kids. They just did what came naturally for them.

You can't consent to being born, and that upset me a lot. But it's not like they could have asked my permission anyway. Might as well make the most of the situation.
