retrospec | (no subject)

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.

It's an interesting topic, but I'm not sure what good debating it will do. Are they going to use this information for something? I'm not sure what to make of this, honestly.

That's what I'm thinking.
What sort of weird thing is going to be happening this month, that we're getting asked such questions?
It's ridiculous.

Usually they warn us that something bad is going to happen, but this? I'm not fond of being asked philosophical questions.

[It's more like he hates this question in particular, but it's fine, probably.]

It's a stupid question to ask considering they're the reason people have two sets of memories to begin with!

Precisely! Things would be so much simpler if they'd never interfered with us...

But I suppose I wouldn't be where I am now and that would be a shame.

I know what you mean.

I don't think Isaac and I would have gotten together if not for this.

[....did he forget to mention something
oops

he might have]

Wait, are you and Isaac dating?

[oh my god??? why didn't you two let him know??? (why would you let him know.)]

Did I forget to tell you?

Yeah, we got together last month.

Congratulations to you both! I hadn't realized you two were that close!
