Imagine there are infinite amounts of universes and in one of them you... you made it.

You are together with the hottest girl at school, you are the most popular guy at school, you have the best grades, and have fun everyday. You made everything that you were scared of. You fear nothing and you work hard.

How would you feel seeing yourself being successful and looking back at your life in this universe?

Honestly, it would suck. Life sucks whether you are rich and successful or not, only difference is that success blinds you with lies. I would be having fun, but after a while I would be bored and annoyed, perfect lives are WAY more boring that you can possibly imagine! Also, I'm not at school, so that scenario doesn't fit well either:P

....If you could make a universe, why would you go to school? I don't think I'd even do it for shiggles because I could do anything, including destroy the universe I made and recreate it a million times over. I'd probably just settle on youtube reaction videos.

"with the hottest girl at school, you are the most popular guy at school, you have the best grades,"

I suppose if you allow school to encompass your world and base your definition of success on such things (how do you know I am not an asexual, or at least someone that does not care for the vapidness that so often accompanies the terminally pretty, that cares not for other people's problems which is what popularity, especially in a setting as contrived as high school, and if you think high school structured lessons are a test of skills or training for skills then I hope you get an easy introduction to the real world). Equally while fear is indeed the mind killer it is not irrelevant and can actually be useful, to go back to the lessons thing then I have met and had to train a few that breezed through high school's exams which can be bluffed by a good memory when they met said real world and seemed to have no real immediate ability to apply said knowledge; those which might have struggled to get it into their head but actually got it there fared somewhat better.

Rather pedestrian and boring if you ask me.

I need to find that universe and kill the me in it. I will not allow some alternate version of myself to be more successful than me.

Huh. I guess this other universe is where I am the most unsuccessful person. I'm pretty good so far!


Oh wait. I'm not~

Sorta...

Well, if you killed the other you. Wouldn't that cause the present you to cease to exist?

You are confusing time travel to the past with multi-verse theory. If she kills her other self, nothing's gonna happen to her since they are independent rather than linked. You can kill yourself in all other possible realities and still be fine as they have all branched off and away from one another, making them irrelevant.

I'm currently living in the universe where all of my dreams have come true, so...

How about a universe where you say "a universe," instead of "an," that really caught my attention. I don't feel like imagining that, I'll just watch Rick & Morty for that.
