Alternate Timelines

Be interesting if real AND accessible.

How many times have I pondered the what if's of my life? On second faster or slower her or there. Open my mouth and said something here or not said something there.

How different my life would be!
Or would it?
How much control do we have over our own destinies? It is indeed hard to make a choice when you do not know that a choice is there. And once a course of action is put into play most humans are relucent to change anything without a well defined and considerable reason.

Some say that it is a long and weary journey to get where we are today and some say it's a wonderful life.

So far we don't get the "Do over" and can rarely change what we have done without considerable trouble.

But who is to say we would make things worse?

As I learned long ago ...I am not really running things down here! All I can do is grab the steering wheel and run my life off into the ditch sometimes.

What few glimpses of the future I have had is indeed "Like looking through a glass darkly" where you only see or know a small part...who, what, when ... where or how is not usually supplied. A couple of frames of a movie of your life is not much help when making life-altering decisions.

Trust me, you can really fuck up some shit with too little information!

I'm going through something like that now. But I'm coming out of it. I'm sure it'll happen again.

Oh yes. Wanna trade cars? My steering wheel is trying to run into some ditches again.

The better question is why did it come back?

Only the OP can answer that.

I experienced something similar in the AH not long ago. The difference there was it came out of my browser when a hacker was accessing the forums via my browser when I clicked and thought I was responding in another thread.

That thread is closed now. Like the old saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".

I have pondered all this many times. We tend to focus on what we see as the big moments, the "cusps" as Hypoxia put it. But perhaps it's the small, unnoticed every day decisions that make the real difference. A thousand small choices lead us to every big one, and maybe they make the decision we reach inevitable.

Interesting to ponder,impossible to quantify. My ex held a gun to my head and talked about how we'd both be better off dead. I wonder what percentage of times he pulled the trigger.

Been there. It sux. Wish it had been an alternate timeline.

And thus I would have died four times in emergency rooms or on the street, in the house or in my car. Once at 17, again at 53 (twice) and then at 68.

I have been blessed...I was brought back from the dead four times. I don't think I will get a fifth time. :(

That gets expensive doesn't it?

Spock must have excellent insurance!

I suppose there must be, although I'd prefer to concentrate on each.

Me: "Come on, baby, push."

Idris: "Are you talking to me?"

And the hotel is not going to be pleased with the mess.

Ugh....I now cannot unsee this mental picture. :D
 
There are times in life when I feel like I can almost see the path ahead, and have to decide which timeline I want to make my own in this reality. Of course, I have not always chosen wisely.

I'm having a pretty major, possibly life changing event happening next Thursday, and I really hope the decision that the decision I made is the right one. I guess time will tell.

I'm glad you brought this thread back MB! :heart:

You truly are blessed, there must be a reason you're still with us. Let's hope it's a good one. ;)

I don't doubt him. It's happened to a select few who've lived to tell about such things. Like some of us start out so young thinking we're immortal. We escape near death so many times by sheer luck, we begin to actually believe we are immortal.

The 1st time I came to the realization I was but a speck of dust, I passed out doing something stupid on a ship w/some other brave fools. When I awoke about an hour later, my 1st comment was,"I know this isn't heaven, they wouldn't let you're dumb asses through the gates."

This last time? I know I changed. But that's between God and me. He made his point VERY clear to me. I'm really trying to do better, but old habits keep revealing themselves. Change isn't really hard - it's simply annoying at times.

In yet another timeline, I didn't lose Lorilei's phone number after a night of Jagerbombs and drunken sex in the ATO house at the University of Georgia. We end up dating, get married, and now have four wonderful adult kids. They all post here on Lit alongside their parents. None of them like our creepy neighbor Mr. Que.

It wasn't my real number anyway.
