Other Dimensions

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

Other dimensions have always fascinated me, quantum physics. I sometimes like to read about the concept of infinite possibilities. Probably philosophy in general because I also read a convincing book about no free will. I probably live in my head more than I ought to. This stuff can inspire some fun conversations with the right people.

I wonder who I’d be if some of my sliding door moments had gone the other way.

So many tiny things affect who we are and how our lives play out. What if we could go back in time and change one or two things?

At the end of the day, I think you just get what you get and do the best you can with it, but what if one change could mean a whole different me?

Are our thoughts, beliefs, lifestyle, preferences etc influenced by where we were born and how we grew up? What does that mean for when we die?Assuming we don’t end, but continue on without a body or culture or any physical senses like sight or sound.

I easily get mind blown over these concepts. Death seems like the ultimate alternative universe. I hope I turn out to be genuinely kind. I guess I mostly just don’t want to be a jerk, or find out I’m one. If I get to choose, I choose to be encouraging and nice to hang out with…

But let’s just, in honor of changing up a few small things, change a few small things today.

I decided I felt like eating toast for breakfast. So I did. I decided I wanted to read a book before going to see the movie when it comes out on Friday. I liked the superficial things I saw on the news about the movie. Fashion, set design. I’ll probably go alone because I don’t yet have a friend to invite along. It might be a cheesey movie, the book isn’t like actual literature, but it’s a fun summer read.

Maybe I’ll just go through today doing things I wouldn’t normally do because, why not? Who will care? Maybe I’ll affect the cosmic dimensional reality of my life’s trajectory. Maybe not, but who would know?

A year from now, I’m completely different because I ate toast and read a book, went to a movie, and let’s see, what else do I feel like doing today?
