I don't think I'm alive

I've always been interested in the "Simulation Theory" but today I had the craziest experience because of it. I'm not sure what to think about it or how to explain it, so I'll just go ahead with what I do know.<br><br>I was driving home from work. I took a new route. I noticed the first couple houses in this area were nice and well maintained, which I thought was cool. I go down the street for about two blocks, and it goes from actifly nice houses to broken down, abandoned houses. Some even had broken windows, while others had no windows at all. We're talking about a two block distance here. I thought that was odd. I drove a little further and it went back to nice houses. I thought, "Maybe they're just remodeling those houses?" Even if I thought that, I knew that wasn't the case. <br><br>I've been thinking about this simulation stuff a lot lately, so I started to think about the houses I saw. I thought, "Maybe they didn't put any effort into those houses because they knew no one was going to see them." I know that sounds crazy, but it made sense to me in the moment. <br><br>I got home and started reading up on SIM theory stuff. I found this quote from Elon Musk.<br><br>"Many years ago in Silicon Valley, the simulation question may have seemed like a crazy conversation to be having, and today it’s actually a normal conversation.”<br><br>That further solidified my thoughts. Am I a character in someone's video game?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit: I want to add that I have proof I'm here in the present. Pictures, videos, people who know me, etc. The reason why this SIM theory thing is still on my mind is because of the feeling I had. I just don't know how to explain it. The only way I can is comparing it to a feeling you may get when you're playing a video game, and you go off the beaten path. It's a feeling that you've escaped the normal route, and now you're seeing behind the curtain. I don't know what it means. I don't know how to describe it. All I know is that it was a weird feeling that has me questioning things.
