Chapter 19 - ~ Seventeen ~

~ The Planet of Future Versions™ ~

"It's where all the hypotheses of who you could become live. Some are scary, some make you laugh. And some… already resemble you."

Where are we landing?

On the Planet of Future Versions™, also known as Proyectia, Selfbecome, or Anxietyland in the common language of Lost Souls.

It's a mirror-like, unstable planet, constantly shifting.

Each zone reflects a possible evolution of you:

The version that finally said "no" (with style).

The one who dropped everything and opened a shop of dreams.

The one who fell in love with themselves, despite everything.

How do you get there?

You don't fly with a hyperboost; you arrive… by thinking too much about it.

Proyectia is reachable every time you:

Ask yourself if you're on the right path.

Look back and think: "Where am I going?"

Say, "In five years, I will…" without laughing or trembling.

~ Encounter with the Futurable Mentor: The Possible Self ~ {Mayif}

A mutable entity that takes your form… but with better posture and less need for approval.

Speaks in a soft but firm voice. Looks at you as if they know what you're avoiding, and says:

"Not every future version will come true. But all deserve a glance. And respect."

They show you the Observatory of Unexpressed Potential, where every window reflects a future. Some make you smile. Some scare you. All of them speak.

Leaving Anxietyland

You leave with:

Less pressure.

More curiosity.

And a handwritten cosmic note from Mayif:

"See you when you're ready. Or when you stop pretending to be."

~ Cosmic Lesson ~

The future isn't a fixed place.

It's a possibility that shifts with every micro-decision.

But no future is worth more than your conscious presence, here and now.

~ Badge Ceremony ~

Every cosmonaut earns a badge based on their journey on Selfbecome.

Even those who cried in the bathroom yesterday and accidentally smiled today.

Badge "Survive with Style"

For anyone who overcame a cosmic crisis with irony, sarcasm, and vintage melancholy playlists.

Reward: interdimensional sunglasses to face any emotional black hole with charm.

Badge "Despite Everything"

For anyone who woke up today, breathed with effort, but still did something (even just changed their socks).

Reward: a keychain reading, "You're doing great, even if it doesn't feel like it."

Badge "Space Empathy"

For listening to someone, even when they were broken.

For smiling at others while the universe collapsed inside them.

Reward: a blanket made of mental hugs and self-esteem teas.

Badge "Quantum Self-Irony"

For anyone who learned to laugh at themselves without hurting themselves.

Reward: an invisible, non-permanent tattoo that reads: "I am rebuilding. Don't touch the pieces yet."

Special Badge "Still Here"

For you.

For reading this.

For not giving up, even when no one noticed.

Reward: an eternal ticket to return home… wherever that is for you.
