To the new app users, how are you?

I offer condolences for the chaos of this month. But as troubling as trouble is, I am certain that there are those that came to your aid.

Those that exist on this app are those that care deeply about people. You can call us bleeding hearts, and that would be accurate. [ For some. ]

But as this month draws to a close, I feel some congratulations are in order. So, congratulations, young men and women. Hopefully, through the trials that you have faced, you've come to feel closer to the people that were once strangers to you and have made some friends.

And I'm certain that someone has explained regains to you all by now, but please keep in mind that you are still you. Your choices are still your choices. Your life is still your life. You can decide what path you wish to walk on, and which path you do not, at any time.

Those are my feelings, at least, as heavy-handed and pretentious as they may sound. Please consider them my way of showing support. :)

I've been here for a few months now so I guess I'm not exactly new but even so; thank you. I've had some regains lately that's had me questioning what kind of person the other me might have been, and what that might mean for me, and while reading this haven't magically made everything better on that front it was a helpful reminder So again, thank you. ^^ I wonder about one thing though. The way you put this: "Those that exist on this app are those that care deeply about people." Now I'm in over-analyzing mode so I could just be reading into this, but it almost sounds like you believe we might have been chosen with that character trait in mind?

smells like a lot of your bs
:)

Congratulations! You sound both pretentious and like a school principal all at once.

[It was difficult to tell if the guy was being genuine at all because of that smiley face in the end. Aren't those usually used for passive aggressiveness or something? Hard to tell since she didn't want to judge him. After all...]

As for your very first question, I'm all right all things considered. My heart hasn't stopped. I'm a little bored though.

But none of that is important, really.

What I'm more curious about are these "regains" you mentioned? I'm guessing that's what people are referring to those weird illusions popping in our heads at random?

[...she wants to know more about her current situation. What the heck is going on with those random images or thoughts popping into her head?]

That's pretty encouraging, thanks. I hope that doesn't mean we're gonna be alone like this fighting monsters and hearing ghosts for the rest of forever, though.

doesn't that mean it goes both ways, though? 🤔

if we're still us, then that most definitely means we're still the people whose memories we have too!
