I'm not certain how common a problem this is, really, but I'm curious about something.

Say you've encountered someone from your world's future, and you find out your own life goes... off the rails, so to speak, for reasons that are largely your fault and that you'd likely have the ability to change. Do you think there's any actual chance for us to change our fates based on that information? Or are we simply... stuck like this.

...I really have no idea if this is a philosophical question or if anyone has actual answers. Either way, I'd imagine I'm not the only person having this issue.

[Hey look, it's your not!airbender friend with an obvious username.]

You can use that information to change how you live your life here.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, I intend to, but how long is that even going to be a factor? I suppose we've shown no signs of getting a proper opportunity to go back home, but...

[sheisthewind]

Until we encounter someone who has gone back home and then somehow returned back here, we have no way of knowing if there is a way to change our fates in our own worlds. But changing your behaviour here and making a habit makes it more likely that you would change things if you got home.

[bloodisthicker]

I guess that's the only way one can approach it, isn't it? Well, I suppose that's what I'll have to do and just... hope for the best.

In the meantime you can make use of your opportunities here. We have no idea when we can go home or if that will ever happen anyway.

[bloodisthicker]

You're right about that. And really, I do want to do that, it's just... been somewhat difficult with the future hanging over me.

What you need to ask yourself is why a possible future is holding you back.
