Hey there Cat :)
It does make sense, and I think that there is nothing contradictory in what either of us have said.
In fact I really like the visualization or picture of your potential selves, which exist in the realm of possibility until you either decide to go down that route and manifest those selves...
Or take a different choice and manifest that self in this now moment.
Any of which become your current self, depending on your choices in each moment.
If that also makes sense
Peace & blessings
