Discussion What simple/small things would you never get to experience if you CTB?

[sotomie]

I wonder what that feels like to have something simple "waiting" for you. Life is difficult but I still get a little excitement about small things.

I think I'd never get to watch the remaining Demon Slayer series/movies, Harry Potter series remake, and the whole Marvel saga. I occasionally play Monster Hunter too, so I would never get to play whatever after MH Wilds.

I think I find that more interesting than the usual answers people give like family, success, legacy, etc. Those are big words. I'm more curious about the small reasons.

So, what would you never get to experience if you CTB?

 

[unluckysadness]

Love, sex, having a loving partner, travel, not being stressed all the time, having a peaceful childhood, being understood, et cetera. These simple things will remain a dream and a mystery to me. Perhaps in my next incarnation if I must reincarnate (I don't want to...)

Affection. I know for a lot of people here it is not simple, but nearly everyone I've met takes it for granted. I've hugged twice in my life and people are shocked by that revelation. Hugs and other forms of physical affection are just a normal part of life for them while it's something I can only dream of.

my sister's achievements. i've already accepted i won't do anything worthwile, but my younger sister is going to be an amazing person. if i ctb when i want to, i'll miss her college graduation and everything that comes after that, and her future family will never know me.
i'd miss a lot of other things as well, but this is just the first one that came to mind

edit: i got so emotional i completely forgot the whole point of this thread. as for something actually simple, i'd miss seeing my favorite band on tour probably.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

I would not be able to experience spending time with my partner anymore, should I eventually CTB.
I would also miss out on eating my favorite food, trying new food I haven't eaten before, playing new games, getting to see new movies, and buying things I want/like. Sadly, the last 5 things I mentioned don't give me much joy anymore due to anhedonia.

 

[Canto XIII]

It's a bit crass, but sex is the first thing which comes to mind.

 

[limenlux]

I might not experience the simple joy of outliving at least one of my utterly hostile, insufferable siblings. I'm in kind of a mood tonight, I think.

 

[lastappleonearth]

Cuddling with someone I love and who loves me back, while laying on the couch and watching a show. I feel like that's sth simple for a lot of ppl, but for me it's a fantasy.
Yea and I also couldn't eat my favourite dish anymore, which is Schnitzel made by my grandma (reference attached)

 

[FuneralCry]

I'd never get to experience all future unnecessary dreadful suffering in this existence so torturous that I just always saw as a mistake which is all I wish and hope for, there is nothing desirable about existing and there never could be and I'd just never wish to be conscious of anything at all, simply just existing is enough to make me wish for the peace of non-existence and I'd only be so relieved to no longer be burdened with this terrible, torturous existence that never should had been imposed that is just waiting to die anyway.

To be burdened with this cruel, futile existence for decades longer just to face the terrible extreme agony of old age will always be the most terrible undeserved punishment to me, nothing would make me want to experience that and I'd just never wish to experience anything at all no matter what rather all I hope for is some peace.

This is a funny question because there's nothing really I'm going to miss. I don't consume media or play games or do anything anymore.

 

[blinkblink]

a lot:
-love/sex/first kiss/having a relationship/having friends (not like those would happen anyway lol)
-wouldnt get to finish all of the tv shows i started watching (rip the office)
-wouldnt get to go to a bbq for the first time
-wouldnt get to leave the city i hate
-wouldnt get to have sushi from fred meyers again
-wouldnt get to pull hangnails on my fingers again
-wouldnt get to dust old furniture again

but yknow theres a lot of bad things i would get to miss too, so..

 

[Forveleth]

I will never see snow again. I always feel happy when it snows.

 

[Minfilia]

getting merch of my favorite pro-wrestler

 

[LRkin]

1) Pulling my oshis in gacha games. But with my luck... don't think I'll ever pull all of them
2) I won't get to travel to the places I wanted to visit. It's not like it's going to happen
3) Finding someone who'll complete me and make my life mean something

 

[evrlastingsea]

concerts of my faves. also, just simple things like not being able to go to restaurant/places i saved, or just not being able to consume my fav medias anymore

 

[Lamentice]

Getting to see all the world's cool bugs

 

[Disabledfromjump7]

Cool visuals like sunsets, rainbows and falling stars.

 

[SuicidalCheese]

I'll never be able to sit out on my own porch, and just whittle, with a dog by my feet, and a mug of cold milk to drink.

 

[iguazo falls]

my eggs and toast im ngl

 

[tomame]

i've always wanted kids and i wish terribly i were straight .. but unfortunately neither of those are in the cards for me in this lifetime

 

[weishenme]

This is a funny question because there's nothing really I'm going to miss. I don't consume media or play games or do anything anymore.

dont even ur favorite food or smth like that? ir like super insignificant things like feeling the wind in ur face or the smell of rain, there must be smth u still dont knoww

 

[thelostautistic]

If I had CTB in February like I wanted to I never would have met my favourite artist and seen her live. I'm glad I stuck around for that.

 

[hurts2b]

If I did it tomorrow I would have died without being able to photograph a marten or an eastern bitteren. I'd have lived without knowing what big cities look like up close in person. I'd never get to learn to forage or to write another story. I'd never get to have another conversation with my friends.

There's certainly things I enjoy and would miss out on. But. In truth. A lot of the time I feel too apathetic to care.

 

[Oblivionetc]

the rain

 

[infinitanocte]

I'm still hoping my favorite anime gets a second season one day :)
I'd miss all the music from the artists I like that may come out, and I wouldn't be able to see them in concert.
I wouldn't be able to play all the multiplayer games with my sibling that come out, or go and bug them whenever I want, or eat their cooking/baking.
I wouldn't be able to send letters to my friends and my favorite artist again, or keep telling them how much I love their work.
I wouldn't be able to see all the beautiful ways people smile, or give any more compliments.
I wouldn't be able to curl up in my blankets again while there's a thunderstorm outside.
I wouldn't be able to tell someone that I see their pain, and I wish them well.
I wouldn't finish studying.
Now that I think about it, I guess there's actually a lot of things?
But sometimes I still don't feel entirely convinced.

The only thing that would keep me thrashing about in the afterlife if I didn't get to experience is deltarune chapter 7.

Oh and I guess ditching this whole virginity thing would be cool too but I could eventually come to terms with that in purgatory.
