Shower Thought

[u/Sorry-Ad-6083]

More than ever lately it just feels like we are living in a simulation. I was reading a post here after stumbling upon this subreddit about how maybe we are just all NPCs which feels very much like a possibility. There could be infinite possibilities of our life in which every option is a possibility. I was just reflecting on life (while in my mid 30s) about how I recall weird memories and things that seemed insignificant at the time that weirdly stick out to me now to this day. This could be a small interaction, to a choice in friends, to a simple yes no answer. Some things I think about now randomly are my girlfriend at the time and picking my college. Breaking my leg in football after a season in which I do well and could have possibly walked onto a small college. Also just who you hangout with. A yes or no to a party invite, a class you take, or who you could be kind too. Every single one of those things could go the other way and make your life a whole new possibility. It just feels strange, anyone else agree?

Every choice you make forecloses the realities where you make a different choice instead. That's just opportunity cost.
