I’ll do my best to return to something bordering on a ‘normal’ upload schedule when it’s finally finished and out, promise. Hope you’re doing well :)

    I lost my boyfriend to a car accident, two years ago now. I've often envisioned a scenario similar to this, and now I am a mess of tears and snot. I know I would spend my whole life writing every incarnation of him, bridging the gap, just to hear his words. Just to smell his scent on the letters he'd write. I don't even know what I would say to him, except maybe "I love you I love you I love you I miss you I love you". Thank you for writing this, and thank you for the very much needed revelation. I'm gonna go cry some more now. Good night.

Everything comes crashing down and you just feel like ending it all just to get rid of the unbearable pain inside.

      I get you appreciate his words, I do as well. But this obsession people have with those they admire? It's fucking disturbing. As you said, its been 4(+?) years, he is more than able to address the issue, officially. He just refuses to, because he has simple-minded drones such as yourself who will defend his cowardice. You know, it is perfectly acceptable to enjoy ones work, while also questioning their character. Its too bad he is too much of a pussy to address this issue.

      @@MikeisRelic Well, here's a thought for you. The only thing connecting the world lines is Nia and her superposition messaging system, and if the reason driving widowed Nia was the daughter she lost to cancer... what reason was behind the happily family version's invention? She was always going to discover this method of communication for better or for worse. Both Soren-less Nia and the to-be cremated Nia were simply stuck on finding some semblance of a daughter.
      It's sad really. She wanted to find her daughter and realised even before talking to that spitting image of pragmatism that she was never going to find her... she was going to find a version of her so distant and removed that the child knew humouring Nia would be torturous and cruel. And so she realised humouring Sorens out there who had lost their own Nia would be torturous and cruel for her to do. She said it felt weird to receive his message. Even after being contacted by 500 others, she said it was weird. She cares, and that's why she cut it off.

      Don't worry. It's an irrational fear.

On a day in an alternate universe, the wind may pick up the scent and carry it into your nose and you will remember everything. Nothing significant dies in your memories. It just isn't around for you to remember it anymore.

      It all just looks sketchy on both sides right now.

    To me this wasnt terrifying or creepy.It was just sad. He was grieving for his wife while his world was destroying itself. The only comfort the only light left was nia. So when he got what he thought was a do over. He jumped before he looked. I think he stayed at that house and died at that house. Waiting for a letter that would never come. From someone who wasn't his wife. This broke my heart.

      Yeah, made me cry. I thought, let's listen and think of philosophy as I wake, now I just want to go back to sleep and forget about Soren and Nia and their daughter.

      @@aaronedvalson104 I dont know whether nia was in a better or worse place than Soren. Soren waa in a doomed world and only had one comfort left, a false comfort but he didnt understand that. Nia Has had over 300 version of her dead husband try to contact her to connect with her. And it never works because she KNOWS, she understands that the person on the other side isnt her husband. Just a person who is so much like him she cant help but hurt. That's one of the reasons I think this is so sad.

      I like the way that you worded "he jumped before he looked".
      The famous danish philosopher "Søren" Kierkegaard said that we have three ways to exist.
      The first two describes the lifestyles:
      "the aesthetic way". This way is tragic because the person does not live in line with the human situation / lives like an animal and only goes after desire.
      and "the ethic way" is tragic, because one is unable to make subjective, existential choices, and follow authority.
      But the last one, "the religious way", is described as a leap into a great depth, without knowing whether one can swim or not. But that you just have to have confidence that you can swim. It is, in fact, impossible to live a human life without being guilty in the eyes of others.
      This story really explains all the bad sides that correlates to these ways to live, which can't be random. How it is not possible to live off the desire of someone you have lost, how he becomes completely dependant on this Nia, who Soren thinks is someone he knows and can trust, as well as how he had to leap into this last light that he clings to, rendering him blind for what is real.
      Long answer, but i just really liked this way of thinking

      @@RoyaIArtz That's really interesting. I like what you said about the "religious" way of thinking. It reminds me of this book I discovered yesterday called "Moving Through Parallel Worlds to Achieve Your Dreams". It combines the Many Worlds theory with some spirituality. It's like a philosophical self-help book.
