Ok since we now know about different universes, I want to hear people's ideas on what's going on in their own alternate universe. Cos, hey, it could- [Voice has gone a bit deeper and he coughs] it could exist! And what if we looked different too? Like blue hair, or there could even be a girl version of you out there! Man, this is hurting

Huh. You're you, the one who is posting this message. There's a lot of what ifs, could have beens, that the curses sometimes forced us to explore, but knowing they could exist doesn't make our lives less real. We lived it this way, that's what counts in the end.

[keepinganeyeout]

But going with the idea that the what if guys exist, if you're gonna have your name remembered, throughout all the universes, wouldn't you pick the one who got it right? Then your life is the one that gets rubbed out so the better one can be recorded.

[reginagloriae]

Wellll, not all of the universes, huh? You pick what you have done so far and what you have chosen so far. Look, living one life is already hard. Are you honestly going to sit and think of all the possibilities out there? If you do that, you'll be missing out your chance to live.

It's okay to wonder, but don't let that get you.

[keepinganeyeout]

You been through any of those curses that show you how things could be different?

[reginagloriae]

Yeah. There was one I was born in a different place, another I took another important choice, and another where I accidentally changed my... partner's place of origin because of a stupid wish. All made me appreciate the life I really lived.

[keepinganeyeout]

That's a lot of what ifs. It can mess with your head, not only finding these kind of things out, but actually living through them. Though if it makes you feel happier about your current life, it's worthwhile.

I've just had one. I was a stronger fighter, but a jerk. So I guess I can't win either way. Everyone said this was the better me and I'm not gonna argue with them.

[reginagloriae]

Mess with my head? Not really. Because I know who I am and what kind of person I want to be. Myself. That's all.

You could get stronger without being a jerk. Coming from me, I used to be a jerk in the past, let me tell you that it doesn't take strength to be one, just a lot of bitterness. Everyone, huh? What do you think?

[keepinganeyeout]

People who are confident - not fake confident, not when there's nothing to back it up - usually have a deep strength. They make good points too.

You used to be, but you changed yourself? That must have been difficult, and taken a long time. Gives me hope for, well actually several people I know. My family's really important to me. A lot of the time I find it difficult to follow what they say and be who they want me to be. The curse made me into that person, but it meant pushing away a lot of what I'd worked for, and in the end it wasn't what I'm about, like you said. But it was nice to be the best and have my family acknowledge me, through fake memories.

[reginagloriae]

I still hesitate a lot sometimes, but I know that choices, meaningful ones, got to hurt you. Because you always want to pick both options and you can't.

Huh. Yeah. I felt betrayed for the world after a couple of bad experiences and I thought I was entitled to be a jerk in return. I realized how low I was acting before I did anything too stupid. I decided that I wanted to be a strong person, a better one. That was the first step I gave, one I don't regret it.

Man, expectations suck, don't they? I get how the anxiety and pressure from your parents, your classmates and your teachers can be. I tried to please everyone in the past, that didn't work so well. In the end, I only hurt people and built lacking relationships. If you didn't like it, you don't, but don't bring your friends or acquaintances into you. Be yourself because you want to. If you used them to measure this choice, it'll be just following another set of expectations, you know.
