The Life of Me

Time travel is so really very extremely rather confuzzling when you try to think about it. It just about makes my brain explode. I mean, stuff happens, then it, like, un-happens, and you see your future self, and for some reason, you trust them... Then you can change your past, then sometimes an even farther-into-the-future future self who changed the stuff comes back to the first time-travel instance and tells you some other stuff, so then your entire life gets turned upside-down. I mean, what happens to the stuff that happened first? And second? Does it just get erased? (I mean, I know time travel doesn't even exist, but...) (I tend to over-think things. Then my brain goes on really-fast-mode.) (Would-You-Rather games drive me crazy. I act like they're real; like, if I choose the wrong thing, my life will change drastically and badly forevermore.) 

So, back to time-travel... Let's take Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for example. ***If you haven't read or seen it, spoiler alert*** Remember (in the movie... Not sure about the book...) when the Minister, Dumbledore, and the executioner dude are on the way to Hagrid's to kill Buckbeak? Hermione, Ron, and Harry are still in the house, and future-Hermione throws some stones to alert them? So, in the past, the future has already occured...? I thought the point of time-travel was to change the past, not make sure it was accurate... Same with Free Birds (the turkey movie...) (I just felt like watching it... I normally wouldn't choose that particular movie to watch... It was kind of lame...). At one point, Redgie's future self comes to tell him something (I don't remember what). Then an even-farther-into-the-future future self comes, then another one comes to tell him that he's the Great Turkey, so then he travels back to the other turkey's past and is the Great Turkey... So the future has already happened... Very confusing.
