 ohhhh I was picturing someone sternly pointing a finger at you from atop a
 ledge or other high place and saying (in no uncertain tone) "You are Canadian.
 You are from Canadia. This is your life now." and you shriveling under their
 gaze thinking "noooo I don't want to be canadan"

 well that makes sense, but why are they accusing you? seems like you'd only
 accuse someone of something bad, otherwise you'd probably commend or
 compliment or find a way to refer to your non-existent "canadianosity" in a
 less aggressive way : )

 "oh, the bad guys are coming to hurt you?? just fuckin' run away"
 
 yeah. real helpful. how about you fuck off to canada or whatever and give away
 all your possessions. Maybe they'll train you and teach you how to help in
 some way and you can come back later when the time is right.

 could be filtered and parsed by a real actual human instead of being copied
 wholesale onto the internet, where the inconsequential or inconceivable ones
 are left to rest alongside the gifts of knowledge from another realm.

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 me too! "citizen of the earth", and guess where I was born.
 
 But I also am attached to the localized region of my life, hence the favor
 shown to the country.
 
 gee these lines we draw in the sand are kind arbitrary, I mean I could
 literally just reach an arm over them and shake the hand of my mirror self.
 Kinda makes me think they're more useful as cultural demarcators instead of
 indicators of subjugative ownership.

 The trick is, if you *think* you're schizophrenic, then you will be. If you
 *think* you're telepathic, then you will be.
 
 There are no grand narratives. Just live your life as you will and be content
 with what you build for yourself.

 hey, you know how historically they used to lobotomize young women who were
 too fiery, passionate, independent, driven, motivated, and clairvoyant?
 
 they did that on purpose.
 
 that was less than a lifetime ago.

 "doing too many drugs" is a traitorous act, abusive really, to your past self,
 and their hopes and dreams.
 
 or maybe your past self owes you a debt, for they never thought to think of
 you. What are you to aspire to if not the dreams of your past?
 
 and now you're here. wherever "here" is here...
 
 ...
 
 ... wait, you wanted me to talk? it's now! It's the present!
 
 ah nevermind. you were twelve years old when you first set eyes upon this game:
 
 https://youtu.be/qeNhQQXvpxQ
 
 bam, there ya go, there's yer story, he was gonna give all the imp balls to
 the last one at the end, to say "you were truly the strongest, here, have
 these precious stones of your kin"
 
 but he never got there, so they died with him, a thief.
 
 ... the end...
 
 (too final, I think - maybe we could spin it into a "part two"?)
 
 ah, I'll try I guess? dunno how. maybe he could wander the spirit world and
 find his traitorous body, the one that kept his soul as a home. Somewhere
 it'll turn up, and then he'll be ready and free from his roam...

 if you wanna do drugs on a battlefield, get twisted and high and drunk. Just
 enough, not as much as usual. let adrenaline focus take care of the rest.
