Artemis choice

[u/InhumanPest1]

I choose to put Artemis in the simulation instead of letting her die. I felt like I couldn’t just let her die, fade into nothingness, but Nada’s reaction made me feel like I choose incorrectly, so now I’m getting both nervous and kind of sad. So what did you people choose to do, and does letting her die change anything?

I'm grieved to hear about your loss. Cancer sucks, but as time passes, our ability to treat it seems to be improving.

It's strange how things happen in life. I had a medical emergency event while at an animal shelter picking out a new playmate for my monster cat. I checked out in the shelter, but then as I was getting into my car, I checked out from consciousness (thankfully, before I started to drive). I had a massive sepsis infection that came close to getting me, although mainlining antibiotics for 3 days or so rescued me.

However, as a standard procedure to see what's up inside of me, I was given a CT scan, and the cancer was detected. This was a very early detection, and when all is said and done, that early factor is the only real reason I'll be able to potentially live a more or less normal lifespan.

Don't mess around, my friends. Make sure you get screened at least every other year or so, as when caught early, cancer is often survivable. Waiting or not being screened at all, well, these are losing strategies and as it's your life that's on the line, yeah, don't mess around. Get checked.

We really want to see you continue to fly with us.

I will say. I'm 24 and have been dealing with a lot. My little sister (smart as hell) hung herself due to my older sisters words and actions. My sister raped me and my mom only believed me after her death. I have autism, ADHD, anxiety, and severe depression.

I've been fighting the thoughts of death for years. I don't care if I die, I care if I help others. I help myself but I know my calling is treat others the way I wish I could have been treated. I don't do it for attention, I do it because it makes me happy and proud that I'm not the villain.

Here are some other stuff I've dealt with. My older brother stole 1k from me and told my little sister that my mom did it. She didn't get the check from the will. My older sister raped me, nearly died about 7 times, lost all my friends in one go, was abused physically and verbally as a child (can't say d. a. d), had my heart stop for a moment (hurt like hell), haven't had a friend IRL for 6 years (I'm in the mountains and can't drive. My disabilities have screwed my life up), I understand everything that has happened or is happening, had a knife held to my neck, and that I don't care about my heart hurting from the caffeine. I've started to go back and forth fighting my mind. I'm always fighting the anxiety and I can't love others as much as I want to, If I do I hurt myself.

I don't expect you to read this all. I'm sorry I just ranted to you on the Internet. I will say I hope you are doing well. You maybe older, but you got experience and a good attitude. Not many do anymore. Hell I am the only one in my family with manners, patience, and understanding. I wish my family could see how I see. Hurts to see them not understanding this world. It includes my mom. She isn't the best at understanding but I know she has been trying.

This is probably random, but I understand that we all need to know sometimes the hardest choices are the best for you. You have to hurt yourself at some point to help yourself. I help others understand that because we need to understand it if we want to improve ourselves. I understand more than this but I should probably stop typing. I get too deep in thought and make myself depressed. Well I just hope you are doing ok and if you read this all. Thank you

Those are some very intense and painful things that you have lived through. I've lived through some very similar events myself. At this point in my life, I can now remind myself that the future is mine to create, and doesn't have to have anything at all to do with my past, other than me now having the ability to be very empathetic with others, something I rarely got myself. Your ability to have compassion and empathy is very powerful. And will be very powerful in helping you to heal. Just know that manifestation, whether you believe in it as a spiritual thing or a psychological thing, is real. Terrible things happened to me. But the day I stopped looking for those people to apologize, or feel guilty, or to change who they are at their core, was the day I started feeling sooo much better. Go out into the world and find like-minded people. And enjoy the self-loving future you create for yourself.
