@marsbar I was, until I started thinking about being Indian :v
Or white
Or black
Or Latin American
Or Asian
Or another flavor of white (like, the Russian white)

@SW-User 😅 What is going through that kind of yours?? Lol
SW-User
@marsbar other cultures, upbringings, facial features, views on life, religions, just that experience. So much is out there and I haven't seen it and I just wonder and am trying to play through my head as to why a different soul starting off at a different place can see the same things as me and view it ever so differently
.-.
The answer comes with that "DUHHHH" but I am trying to walk through the deeper roads through my mind as I distract myself to sleep :v
But then I got interested and wanted to ask here


I hope that explains what happened in my head :3
marsbar · F
@SW-User Yes, it did froggy. :)

I’ve thought about some similar things. Like imagine you were born to a different family in a different culture? Or a different socioeconomic class? How drastically different would your life be?

It’s surreal, really.
SW-User
@marsbar exactly. It is so mind blowing how different you'd literally have to be with those new experiences
marsbar · F
@SW-User Yup. So it leads me back to the conclusion that I should be grateful where I am, what I have, & for the other blessings in my life.
SW-User
@marsbar and now ya see why I ask these random questions XD
marsbar · F
@SW-User Yes. You should have also minored in philosophy. Lol
SW-User
@marsbar my philosophies are often bizarre :v
Like ... super deeply weird


Or just plain silly XD

Or counterarguments to something widely accepted just to mess with everything
marsbar · F
@SW-User Stick to your major then. 😄
SW-User
@marsbar okay, but peeps this 0__0
I am going to slap you with something I have been reading about and studying for so long
marsbar · F
@SW-User Slap me?? 😱😨

@marsbar see, light is considered bright. We think that because it just isn't there, something is dark. Darkness lies "behind the stars," right? But peeps this =.=
What if, darkness is not a quality, but a product of some force or matter or existence, take the dark matter for example. Dark matter exists between all bodies and could be the reasom behind darkness, so we could all actually be just living inside of something kinda like a universe of ... imagine jello cake. You can put a small toy in the cake, and it stays in place. Light can shine THROUGH the cake and be "seen" by the toy. Imagine our entire universe is as such. We only know what we see, but beyond where light touches all that exists into a vast beyond where physics doesn't matter anymore, is it dark? Or light? After all, imagine light is EVERYWHERE around our universe, but we cannot SEE it because we move through something that encases all we can just know or see 🤔

Weird things like this

@SW-User You’re so verbose froggy. I’m all discombobulated now. 😅
SW-User
@marsbar oh my gosh, I was tryna make it seem like English XD
Take the Jello cake example and just think of our world like that
marsbar · F
@SW-User Ok. Lol. It’s too abstract for me. That’s why you do so well in your classes. You think outside the box.
SW-User
@marsbar sometimes I do XD
Other times, my big old head just sits there in office hours swearing up and down and in and out about how the proof for how my final answer with the illustration just had the tiniest error ever and wasn't all THAT bad...

@SW-User 🤣🤣 I love that drawing!

Well I’ve always told. You’re a smarty pants & will kick ass in school.
SW-User
@marsbar I hope I can ace this next semester 😼
I'm going to just kill it (hopefully)

Also, I suffer in my classes at times XD
Just so ya know. It ain't always peaches and roses
marsbar · F
@SW-User Oh I know that. You take difficult courses. But you’ll get the grades you want. :)
SW-User
@marsbar last time, I got B's and this semster, I work part time and am taking the HEAVIEST classes I have seen together :/
Some people literally take an extra semester to just focus and put all their time in just ONE of my classes (which belongs near my graduation's end instead of middle) ._.
I feel like I could possibly even fail if the most brilliant students are doing THAT

So much worry and so many challenges to overcome that it excites me XD
At least this won't be a boring semester
marsbar · F
@SW-User With you, I don’t things get too boring because you’ll always have something to do or think about. 😁

Don’t worry, you’ll manage. :)
SW-User
@marsbar no you never *let* things become boring ;-)
marsbar · F
@SW-User Lol 😁
SW-User
@marsbar You caught my use of *let* (was missing from your words). I like you being Canadian.... full of spirit and kindness ;-)
