Dr. Arataka Reigen May 24, 2017 near Enprise

So... after reading this app for a while and after the whole "suddenly we're tiny" incident I'm kind of forced to admit that there might be some legitimacy to what's going on here. There might genuinely be past lives or alternate realities or... something. What are any of you guys planning to do with that information? My son doesn't understand what I'm talking about when I mention some of this stuff, but no matter what I learn about my past life other than the fact that I was apparently a lonely guy, I'm still here. It doesn't change my life. Usually I'm pretty good at working through situations logically but I'm having issues.

people have told me a couple times that my opinion on this doesnt count because im still new but
i agree w you
im still me and this is still the life im living so why worry about could have beens ?

[true_noir]

Please forgive the interruption, but who says anyone doesn't count because they're still new? You don't have as much first hand experience, but I would think your opinion counts.

Arataka Reigen I guess that's the rational way to approach it.

Arataka Reigen If only the rest of me got the memo and stopped worrying.

[cattack]

Are you talking about the visions?

[saltsplash]

Arataka Reigen Yeah those.

[true_noir]

There are things that do not "Add Up," if you will. I am also stubborn about not wanting this person I see to be me. But, regardless, my answer is the same. I intend to take what I want from her, and to avoid the rest. I refuse to be her.

Arataka Reigen That's a pretty edgy hollywood line.

Ainsley Feray Menodora I suppose it only matters if what you learn is something you have to confirm it with others.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Especially if it involves individuals who are apparently important to you but you've never met in your life.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Are they here too? Are they having the same visions as us or will they find you weird if you tried to accost them should you ever cross paths? Should you try to cross paths with them again?
Ainsley Feray Menodora It's something I've been thinking a lot after learning some things. No doubt others are thinking this way too.

Arataka Reigen Oh lord there's people here who knew each other before?
Arataka Reigen That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen if there's some soul-mate stuff going on
Arataka Reigen I don't even want to think about things going sideways on that
Arataka Reigen I'm not looking for commitment anytime soon??? I'm too busy

[eyestitch]

Nui Harime none of this junk has happened to me yet so for all i know everybody is full of crap and this really is just some kind of mass hysteria thing
Nui Harime but
Nui Harime what's your kid gonna understand more?
Nui Harime 'papa gets confused sometimes'
Nui Harime or 'papa wants to reconnect with his past life so he's acting like i'm not really his son?'
Nui Harime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Arataka Reigen I asked him if I went out drinking or said anything weird because I suddenly remembered getting shitfaced
Arataka Reigen He was confused and said I was asleep on the couch all night
Arataka Reigen I didn't actually make the past life connection thing until this point

Gintaro Suzukaze Nothing about this is logical, so there isn't really a logical approach.
Gintaro Suzukaze I mean, sure, you can say it doesn't matter and carry on with life, but that's not going to do you much good when there's no way to tell what you're going to remember.
Gintaro Suzukaze Or when you're going to spontaneously get superpowers or something.
Gintaro Suzukaze My current game plan is don't panic and show up for work on time.

Arataka Reigen Super powers? Are you kidding?

[manolia]

The obvious question here is: are these past worlds separated from us by a spacetime that's theoretically traversable? If so, the question becomes a philosophical one. Ought we live in our safe world here, the one where we are not living up to the potential we reached in the past, or ought we seek it? Obviously, if it is not traversable, we have no choice but to sit it out here.

Perhaps we are intended to find these worlds - by Retrospec, or by God? I don't claim to know.

Arataka Reigen What if my life here seems like the better one?

[fashionable_yapping]

Nina Écarlate Honestly? Complain about it and then ignore it.
Nina Écarlate At least that's been what I've been doing.

Arataka Reigen I don't know about you but this sort of thing would keep me up at night.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Mine have been kinda cool, I'm mostly trying to live up to them, I guess.
Kazuma Kiryu I hadn't remembered anything bad until just recently.

[saltsplash]

Arataka Reigen I hope my next memory is a good one then.
Arataka Reigen Getting shitfaced in a bar with people and being sad is just depressing.

[b0mbshell]

Kazuhira Miller Logic is giving me nothing, either.
Kazuhira Miller None of mine made any sense. I saw a big robot. That's it. It didn't even strike me as a vision.
I'd just assumed I was daydreaming.

[saltsplash]

Arataka Reigen I think that'd be my assumption, too.
Arataka Reigen If you had any artistic skills you could probably draw it and sell the design though

[flowrite]

Fiacre Lachance Planning to do? Honestly? Panic and try to forget that any of this is happening.
Fiacre Lachance And possibly drink too much.

[saltsplash]

Arataka Reigen Hey, you're supposed to keep it together

[He's teasing, obviously]

[biellmann]

Chiyuki Koike No idea...
Chiyuki Koike I've been having the same problems.
Chiyuki Koike I can't talk to my parents about any of this either.
Chiyuki Koike I wish there was something we could do. Sitting around passively like this sucks.

[saltsplash]

Arataka Reigen Oh

[Adopting a kid probably made him way too soft for his own good, because immediately he wants to help.]

Arataka Reigen If you want, you can throw your thoughts at me.
Arataka Reigen I don't have context obviously but I might be able to give you some advice.

[frostythehitman]

I haven't been thinking about it as "past lives." Although with some of the crap I've been remembering, that almost makes sense.

If I could find a way to get these dumb memories to stop, I would. But I can't. So I'm gonna start researching them once I get the time.
