If no one in the world could hear a word I say, would I exist?

If no one knew I existed, would I be alive?

If I don’t recognize my surroundings, was I even here in the first place?

If I can’t remember what happened yesterday, did it even happen?

If pain and sorrow encompass me, have I ever been happy?

If my dreams and my reality are both terrifying, am I awake or asleep?
