Think about what it was like before you were born.

I don't think it's possible to ponder "nothing." And I don't "don't believe" in an afterlife (sorry, I couldn't think of a better way to say it). Everything that we know about "us" happens in the mind, so it makes sense that whatever is "us" would cease to exist if there were no mind to create that. However, we've yet to be able to measure beyond death. So for now, it's the "null" hypothesis, and that's where I am. I accept the "null" hypothesis, but I still wonder what might or might not happen once the mind and body stop functioning.

In 1920 I did not exist. Nothing or non existence was not an issue "for me".

I am guessing it will be the same after I die.

For me it was lingering doctrines of religion. The longer I'm out the less I consider it and I just don't care anymore. I care about life but when that goes out it's like flipping a switch.
