Odd question, but do ya'll ever plan out other lives for yourself? Occasionally I'll just sit on realestate and and look shit up. Might be like "alright, if I split with the mrs can I afford to buy a unit? where am I gonna live?" or "Fuckit, lets all move up to bright! I hate it here, alright what can we afford?"

I find it really therapeutic for some reason. These alternate lives I'll never live out.

I’d be surprised if anyone doesn’t occasionally entertain alternative lives. Very Sliding Doors.

Pretty sure we’ve all wondered where we might be if we’d picked different doors.

I creep myself out when I go too far down that path. All of the things that have happened to me worked together to make me who I am, and at a certain point in my musings I realise that by changeing the things that happened to me I am effectively erasing myself from existance entirely.

I sometimes do too.
