I think the lifetimes in the way that the comic presents them is a bundling of opportunity and your own sense of self: so you can spend your life writing, but as you make choices and move through life you will pass through different lifetimes / phases / eras / turning points where what you do changes how you see yourself.

I think the main takeaway from the comic is to look at your past, present and future selves as wholly different individuals, each with their own personalities, careers, hobbies. What you do with that is up to you, either dig in or let go.
