[36F] Hi creatures of the night and people in other time zones.

You must be from a parallel universe.

This is future me, and I come with good news:

  • I didn't get any d-pics. I also didn't reply to or accept suspicious PMs or chat requests, one word responses, and/or requests and replies from people who definitely didn't read my post. Maybe this helped. This is what happens when you can read. It's like a super power. If bullets were made of words, we could dodge them... or we wouldn't need to dodge them.

Ok, I'm lying. Yes, you're right. I did get some dog pics. Very cute dog pics. I know that's what you meant by d-pics. Don't pretend otherwise. Dog pics are the best. I wish everyone sent me dog pics every day.

  • I didn't have any great chats, but I wasn't looking for great chats. I demand little of people: knowledge of space travel, a sense of humor as their oxygen runs out in deep space, and kindness above all. Everyone who I did interact with was nice, even if some conversations didn't lead to a voice chat. And who knows? Maybe one of the people I'm still in touch with will have a great voice chat with me later on.

I'm not sure what you meant by the correct path though. I feel like friendships can happen even when you're going through the worst possible path. And in the end, a person doesn't need to be a friend for them to have some sort of positive influence in your life. Also, the stakes here are not that high. My post was pretty silly, and a fun conversation with someone, even just once, would be pretty nice all on its own.

What am I talking about? Yes, life is like a video game. If you take the wrong path, then it's game over. Wait, isn't it game over when you don't kill the space monsters fast enough and then they eat you? If I take the correct path, at the end, there will be a friendship waiting for me... Hold on. I thought I'd get to be a princess at the end. I don't want friendships. I want a kingdom. I posted in the wrong subreddit.

One thing you're definitely right about is that being from the future is hard work. I'm exhausted. I hope you're sleeping right now, and if I may make a prediction about your future, I did get a sneak peak. You're gonna wake up and you're going to realize that I can't predict your future, and this means you get to decide what to do and how to feel.

Best of luck to you, dear time traveler.
