🧠 Top 10 Versions of You That Still Exist Somewhere

You’ve felt it before.

A strange tug.

A parallel heartbeat.

A vision of yourself that almost was —

but didn’t quite happen.

Maybe you turned left instead of right.

Stayed silent instead of speaking.

Moved instead of staying.

Loved instead of leaving.

And just like that, a whole version of you split off quietly.

Not dead.

Just… somewhere else.

At The Yume Collective, we believe those versions of you still exist.

Not in a sci-fi sense.

But emotionally. Spiritually.

Somewhere in the static.

Here are the Top 10 Versions of You That Still Exist Somewhere —

if only in the folds of memory, silence, and half-made choices.

10. The You Who Never Sent That Text

You typed it.

Deleted it.

Rewrote it.

Deleted it again.

You told yourself it was better this way.

But somewhere — in a soft, imagined world —

they read it.

They replied.

You met in a park and talked for hours.

You didn’t hold back.

That version of you didn’t wonder what if.

They knew.

9. The You Who Moved to That City

You dreamed of it.

You even looked at apartments.

Maybe you visited once, walked the streets like they already belonged to you.

But you stayed.

And now, sometimes, you wake up in the middle of the night

and feel homesick for a place you’ve never lived.

That version of you is out there.

Riding a bike down unfamiliar roads.

Reinventing themselves in small cafés.

Alive in a different kind of loneliness.

8. The You Who Said Yes

To the invite.

The trip.

The weird opportunity that scared you.

You said no, for good reasons.

But somewhere, another version of you said yes.

They danced.

They failed.

They met people you’ll never know — but who would’ve changed everything.

And maybe that version of you still thinks of you

and wonders what would've happened if they played it safe.

7. The You Who Was Brave Sooner

You waited.

Because you needed to.

Because you weren’t ready.

But the version of you who found their voice a little earlier —

they changed course.

They asked for help.

They didn’t let fear chew holes through their confidence.

You’re still becoming that version.

You always were.

6. The You Who Let Them In

There was someone.

You held back.

They felt too close. Too much. Too soon.

But in a quiet universe across the mirror,

you let them stay.

You let them see the soft parts.

You let yourself be loved.

That you still walks beside them —

not without pain, but without hiding.

5. The You Who Let Go Sooner

You knew it was over.

The friendship.

The job.

The dream.

But you held on out of fear, guilt, love.

Somewhere, there’s a version of you that walked away earlier.

It hurt like hell —

but they had more time to heal.

They forgave you for waiting.

You’re not behind.

You’re just on your own timeline.

4. The You Who Made Art With No Apology

This you didn’t censor the poem.

Didn’t “clean up” the melody.

Didn’t try to make it sell.

They created the messy, honest thing.

They shared it even when their hands were shaking.

They didn’t ask for permission.

That version of you still exists —

waiting for you to catch up.

3. The You Who Stayed

You almost left.

Or you did — but came back.

Somewhere, there’s a version of you who stayed.

In the relationship.

In the town.

In the life you were supposed to want.

They’re not better or worse than you.

They just lived through a different kind of ache.

Sometimes you glimpse them in old photos.

They’re still waving.

2. The You Who Let Themselves Be Fully Weird

This you didn’t shrink.

Didn’t hide their obsession with the obscure.

Didn’t fake coolness.

They made bizarre playlists.

They wore glitter at noon.

They asked strange questions in classrooms.

And somehow, they weren’t lonely.

Because weirdness attracts light.

That version of you is still dancing in a room full of misfits.

And they saved you a seat.

1. The You Who Chose Themselves — First

This you said “no” without guilt.

They didn’t over-explain.

They didn’t perform.

They rested.

They made space.

They didn’t tie their worth to usefulness.

They lived slower.

Fuller.

Quieter — but deeper.

They’re not behind you.

They’re in front of you,

calling you home.

🪞 All These Yous Are Real

Memory doesn’t just preserve what happened —

it also holds what almost did.

And you are still connected to those timelines.

To those selves.

They’re echoes.

Ghosts.

Blueprints.

Fuel.

You’re not just one story.

You’re a thousand half-told songs.

Still humming.

At The Yume Collective, we speak to all of them.

The alternate selves.

The imagined futures.

The abandoned versions who still wait in the wings.
