luna fish!: okay um, do
you have any hidden talents?

me: do you consider knitting
and crocheting a hidden talent?

luna fish!: no way!!

me: yes way!! Hahaha

luna fish!: okay now that
I know this valuable piece
of information, i'm going
to need a scarf and possibly
a sweater

me: done and done
hahahaha

me: okay and your hidden
talent is...?

luna fish!: i can lick my elbow

me: get outta hereeee

me: i won't believe
it until I see it!

luna fish!: and give
you an excuse to see my
face? I'll pass

me: come on, i'm sure
you're very pleasant looking

luna fish!: thanks. 😂

me: i didn't mean it like that!
but fine, you believed I can
knit so I'll believe you
can lick your elbow

luna fish!: thank you!
okay next question

me: hmm

me: mind if I go all
deep on you?

luna fish!: no, shoot!

luna fish!: it's almost
3 am, which is the optimal
time for thinking too deeply
about things and having an
existential crisis

luna fish!: just kidding

luna fish!: but not really lol

me: hey, you're not
wrong hahaha

luna fish!: so what's up?

me: do you believe everything
happens for a reason? Or
do you think that what happens
to us is a result of the decisions
we've made our entire lives

luna fish!: wow

me: yeah

me: sorry if that's too deep
I was just thinking about it
and I guess I just wanted
to hear what someone else
thinks

luna fish!: no don't
apologize! it's important
to think about things like this

luna fish!: it gives you a
better perspective on the
world and on your own life, too

luna fish!: but to answer your
question directly, I think it's a
little bit of both. We make
decisions our entire life that
either make a small or huge
impact but do you ever wonder
what drives those decisions?

luna fish!: take 9/11, for example

luna fish!: wait, before I
continue, I want to make sure
it's okay to keep going and that
it's not a triggering topic for
you in any way

me: oh no, please, continue

me: i want to hear what
you have to say

luna fish!: okay, if you're sure

me: positive

luna fish!: well, for example,
I read a story of one man who
decided to go to the post office
before he went to work that
day. Long story short, he ended
up taking a different train and
he missed everything by 5 minutes

luna fish!: five! *he* made the
decision to go to the post office,
but there has to be more to
that than just one simple
decision to go to the post office
that day

luna fish!: he could've gone
later in the evening after
work, or next morning. But
he didn't.

luna fish!: so yes, I believe
that the decisions we make
affect what happens to us
later in life, but that we make
those decisions for a reason.
idk what driving force pushes
us to do it

luna fish!: the universe? A God?
whatever you choose to believe

luna fish!: but we make those
decisions for a reason

luna fish!: i'm so so sorry that
was way too long haha I really
hope I answered your question

me: don't apologize, that
was one of the most
thorough answers I've ever
heard to any question ever

me: you're really wise, luna

luna fish!: aw, thank you

luna fish!: and thank you
to you too for asking all
the important questions, haha!

me: well, like you said, 3 AM
is optimal time for this
kinda stuff right?

luna fish!: right! speaking
of 3 AM, I should probably
get to sleep

luna fish!: work again
tomorrow, yay! Goodnight!

me: goodnight :)
