Multiverse

So something weird happens to me every time I work late. While I’m trying to get my deadlines done my mind will slip into a mode where I can feel like I’m in my old bedroom when I lived with my parents or to my old office when I used to work in an office, specifically in my early twenties when I’d work overnight more often than not and feel like I was the last person awake in the city.

For a while I kicked around a geek idea of when my mind is so caught up in my work it was like my consciousness was weaving in and out of the various multiverse versions of myself. Then it made me wish it was possible to somehow stop in and live out parts of my life in those versions I felt were bad decisions on my part.

So somewhere out there there could be a version of me living it up rather than feeling like I will never know how to relax or when I can have a vacation. Go alternate version me! And for the love of god do not mess up with the blonde model! Big mistake!

And now the thing about this idea is if this was a story what would happen… you get to go back and relive moments that you felt like your life had less meaning and you were alone. But if you try to fix anything and choose to live in a way that wasn’t possible then… do you get to go back again or are you stuck there? Would you try to undo it all to get back to now? Would you carve a new path? Could you even get back again?

@PassingThrough you cant go in past, you can just learn things form your past..
@PassingThrough You'd be selecting a different timeline. You might find out that it's better...or worse, overall.

You might want to watch the [i]Star Trek: The Next Generation[/i] episodes where Picard makes a deal with Q to go back to his Starfleet Academy days and not be as...rash as he *had* been. It's well-written and makes you think.
