012 Things Acquired [text; action for Goldenrod]

So here's a question. This place still likes hypothetical, doesn't it?

Say a while ago something happened to you. One of those should be impossible situations that you were nevertheless curious about. But you don't remember it too well so you were hoping that maybe lightning strikes twice. Just maybe, you'll get your chance to have it happen again and this time remember the situation with a bit more clarity than the last.

You're just that lucky-- it happens again by some act of divine providence.

But when it happens again everything about it feels strange. It's like looking into one of those funhouse mirrors. Everything about it is off. It feels wrong. You remember all of it this time and wonder, despite it being what you wanted, if you dearly wish you didn't. It makes you question yourself. Why would you want to have it happen again? Maybe there was a reason why you don't remember it happening the first time.

What would you do? What the hell kind of situation would you find yourself wanting to happen again? I'd like to know, if you don't mind.

Okay, you'll have to be a little more specific than that, because there's "I just hypothetically saw an angel, or had strange visions of a dark planet lit by no sun" on one hand, or, I dunno, "I hypothetically tried to murder my doppelganger" on the other.

[Hypothetically, of course.

Not like any of that happened to him before, of course. That's just crazy.]

Hey, the strange visions were...kinda nice. Possibly illegal to discuss in public, but nice.

[He's not sure about the angels.]

And about my double, well...I don't want to see him again, but if it meant he'd die, I...I guess that'd be okay?

Does that make sense?

It sounds like you're describing a memory you've been viewing through rose-tinted glasses; most of your fascination with it stems from the ambiguity, and that's why when you experience it again it feels strange and foreign. Whether it really is strange and foreign or not is anyone's guess, but your assumptions about the things you'd forgotten don't align with the reality from the second experience.

Is that about it, or am I completely off the mark?

I think that's the difference between seeking to repeat history and coming full circle to something in your past.

One tries to take you back to before; the other brings you to that point again, but along a course that's always moved forward.

I get it. Like when you watch a movie you loved when you were a kid and it turns out the velcro on the monster is obvious as fuck.

We have an proverb that "history repeats itself." Sometimes it is so uncannily similar that it is déjà vu. I've found that, when a such a situation occurs, it's important to focus on what you find that is different in the most recent occurrence. There's time down the road to compare one to the other, but it's important that you deal with the most recent happenings first. You risk becoming mired in these incidences indefinitely otherwise.

It's an intrinsic part of sentient nature to search for meaning and understanding in our experiences, good or ill. It's the understanding and the lessons learned that are the thing we crave, not necessarily the experience itself. Means and end. It's perfectly natural, I think.

I can't say I've had that happen to me. The most I've had is the feeling of deja vu.

If I had something happen like that though I don't think I'd ever want it happening again, even if I can't remember all the details. And if I don't remember... there must be a good reason why, right?

Hey

Is this about something that happened on that weekend?

Honestly, that example is pretty confusing...but, if it was something I really wanted to do, I'd probably do it again? Or, rather, I think you should just think about your conflicted feelings and decide on what you truly want. If you don't want to want something, it's probably good to confront those feelings...I think.
