~ The Corridor of Possible Selves ~
> "Have you ever met all the versions of yourself you didn't have the courage to become? No?
Get ready for an awkward handshake."
Where are we?
Welcome to The Corridor of Possible Selves, a multidimensional transit zone where every door leads to a possible you. Alternative, updated, postponed, lost, blossomed, or never-born versions.
A mental trip? Absolutely. But with LED lighting.
Exploration Begins:
You find yourself before a corridor as long as infinity. On every door, a label:
• "You who accepted that invitation"
• "You who never quit that job"
• "You who learned Japanese (and self-esteem)"
• "You who gave yourself a second chance"
You open one. Inside, it's you… staring at you. And it says:
"Ah. You came. I was worried."
Parallel Interaction:
Every version of you has something to say:
• Ambitious you:
"I hope you've learned to fail. I did, and it's my greatest success."
• Insecure you:
"I'm still seeking approval… but from myself, this time."
• Serene you:
"I didn't do it all. But I stopped counting."
And you, watching them all, begin to understand.
They're not alternatives.
They're possibilities that helped you become… you.
You exit the corridor with a strange feeling—not of loss, but of plural belonging.
You have a thousand versions of yourself. And you've just greeted them all.
Now return to being the one from today.
The only one who can act… right now.

"Every choice you didn't make isn't a regret.
It's an echo reminding you that choosing is power.
And that not everything must be lived to have meaning."

"5 Questions to Those Who Don't Want Them"
Exclusive interview with Mr. Panic/on
Zark Blipp: How do you manage emotions?
Mr. Panic/on: I put them in folders. One for anxiety, seven for discomfort.
Zark Blipp: Seven?!
Mr. Panic/on: Discomfort has many shades. One is called Zoom meetings.
Zark Blipp: Have you ever loved?
Mr. Panic/on: I had a connection with a printer. Lasted 4 minutes. Then it jammed.
Zark Blipp: I'm sorry.
Mr. Panic/on: Not me! It was inefficient.
Zark Blipp: What do you think of humans?
Mr. Panic/on: They have a heart, yes. But they always leave it on "Do Not Disturb."
Zark Blipp: What would you advise a lost soul?
Mr. Panic/on: Choose one thought. Just one. Nurture it like a little plant.
You can't live all lives. But you can live well the one currently downloading.
Zark Blipp: Thank you, Mr. Panic/on.
Mr. Panic/on: I prefer "First-Level Emotional Archivist." But you're welcome.
