In the vision I had, there was a giant, floating tree called Yggdrasil. Someone in it said its leaves were responsible for death and rebirth or something. So I looked it up, and it's something from a myth.

I can't stop thinking about it.

A past life. Other worlds. Is the Bureau saying that reincarnation is real?

I'm so confused. I don't know what to tell my mom. She's going to think I'm crazy.

Advice would be great, if anyone has any.

Sorry for the trouble.

Okay - tell me five things you can see around you right now.

[bearshermark]

What, why?

[darkforcerising]

Identify five true things you can see around you, say them out loud and take a deep breath between each item.

It's about identifying your reality.

[bearshermark]

Okay. Uh.

Bookshelf. Table. TV. A painting. My mom's bamboo plant.

Is that a- like a therapy thing?

[darkforcerising]

Yes. And there's more to it. You go through each of your primary senses.

5 things you can see
4 things you can feel
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

You can change it up for whatever senses work best in what order.

Or you can switch them out with just five true facts about yourself.

My name is Anakin Skywalker. I live in New York City. I have a prosthetic right arm. My front door is bright yellow. My birthday is August 3rd.

See?

[bearshermark]

That's cool.

I'm Elliott Naeuri. I'm seventeen. I like plants. I live in Queens. Um.. Now I can't think of a fifth thing.

Oh man, this really sucks.

[darkforcerising]

What's your favorite color?

[bearshermark]

Green, yeah.

Plants.

Trees are cool. Very cool. Hope we never run out of those.

[darkforcerising]

Don't worry, the Earth will survive.

[bearshermark]

Good to know.

I'm gonna go lay down.

Thanks for the reality check thing.
