There could have been nothing, forever—no existence, no matter, no universe, no music, no time, no darkness to be dark… absolutely nothing for ever and always. Say this to yourself enough until you feel the absolute horror of it, and you will shiver. Then, once you have felt it, realize that you do exist, and shiver more, for these glimpses of actualizing your existence can not be challenged. You are here to experience, and that is the most beautiful and fundamental core to being alive.
Reminds me of Whitman
“that you are here, that life exists. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”

Beautifully put! And if I can be so bold to add: “…contribute a subverse”
