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.

Very well said. I wouldn't expect any less comprehensive an answer from you.

I'm not sure I have quite so many facets myself, but it's interesting to consider.

Why thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It's something that has passed my mind from time to time. Sometimes I would use a different facet without even noticing it. It has been interesting to see how everyone reacts to this topic. Do you have any feelings about the subject? It's fine if you don't I'm curious.

When posed like this, facelessly and without any critical analysis, I find myself doubting whether Retrospec has anything better to do.

As an actual philosophical question, though, it's interesting. I'm sure people who have divided themselves more thoroughly than I have would be able to answer it differently. I don't see much point in showing different sides of myself to different people, and I am phenomenally certain of who I am as a person.

It's probably not a question people like me are meant to answer.

I wonder what they decided to ask us such a question
It could be curiosity or boredom or something else that they have in mind
You have always been sure of yourself I noticed that in class it's very nice to see
Hmm, possibly or maybe it was something they wanted you to think about

Since you are very sure about this answer I have a question for you:

Will you be participating in tanabata? If you are, are you going to make a wish?

I hadn't considered it, but I'm spending enough time being social right now that it may be something worth attending.

I don't know that I've ever wished for anything in my life.

[that. has to be a lie, right?]

But if that's part of the festivities, I suppose I will have to come up with something.
