It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

Oooookay, so this is just trying to turn one existential crisis into two?

How about no. Because all you're going to do is stir up people and make them feel bad over nothing important. You are who you are. Simple as that.

James is right though, Joann is never a good sign.

They need to stop making Joanne take point on anything! She's like 15!
mincingminuet: <user name=axiometric> (...eh?)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-07-02 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Is she? I did not know this.
floret: (i'll never win a peace prize)

[personal profile] floret 2018-07-02 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well
I don't know if she's actually 15. But I'm pretty sure she's somewhere around there. Like, young enough that there are definitely ethical issues with it... maybe legal ones, too, if Retrospec were actually subject to any laws.

But what if it's not so simple? We must be connected to these other "us"-es somehow.

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-07-02 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
They're a part of who we are too. The experience of that connection changed us.
dornen_kiste: (Serious)

[personal profile] dornen_kiste 2018-07-05 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that's true. It just feels weird sometimes - the memories sometimes don't feel like there's a difference between between them and "I".

Well said! We are who we are and no memories of our past selves is going to change that!

Not that I have anything against my past self, but the experiences he had in that life are greatly different than mine, so we are different just because of that!

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-07-02 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. we are different. Admittedly we've experienced their lives too, to a point. So we've got a bit more going on than they do. A combination, y'know?
