if you could split yourself into two

Last evening I sat in the back of the car and tried to pretend that I didn't exist because I wasn't really supposed to be there. And as usual I wondered about the different possibilities in daily life: 

1) will one's existence somewhere affect the conversation between two strangers or friends, even if this existence had no direct relation to the two people and
2) will two scenarios still take place at the same time if one involved had made a different choice between two?

  1. I came across your blog from Then There Was Us and I love your unique writing. I also love writing, which is my first love. I am a new follower!
    These are great questions you raise. 1. I believe one's existence will almost always affect the conversation between any two people, at any given moment. It happens somewhere all the time.
    Now...I'm not so sure if I understand the second question. Maybe you could elaborate?

  3. Existence is funny. I like to think outcomes change as far as you're involved in them; eg regardless of if you did or didn't go to a party, two people you don't know will still have an argument, but then given if you did or didn't attend, two people you do know might or might not have an argument. That's the best way I rationalise my place in the world, haha.

  4. I really wish I could give an answer to these questions, but I'm afraid they've gone over my head D: Haha

    I just wanted to let you know that I've requested all my "affiliates" to change their links from deadbeatsummer.co.cc to threesixfive.deadbeatsummer.co.cc, which is my personal blog. I tried sending you an email but it didn't go through. It said there was some kind of server problem or something. So yeah, sorry about that!

  5. I always second guess myself. I always want to know what I could have done differently, what could have happened, what should have happened. I am an extremely awkward and impulsive person. So I always wonder if I would have thought before I had done something, would it have been less awkward.

  6. I think it is amazing how everything influences each other. How one little event and strangers coming together can lead to a series of events that otherwise wouldn't have happened :)

  7. There's a theory called the butterfly effect that says that one butterfly stepped on on the other side of the world can affect things that happen on this side of the world, so… yes I think anyone's existance/decisions could absolutely affect a complete stranger's existance/decisions. We're all connected, whether we realize it or not.
