To this one of my friends said that you'd go to the stage in your life where you were happiest, but that depends on many things, including other people, and what if their 'happiest stage' didn't match up to yours? Would that mean an individual after life for each person? That seems like a lot of space tbh.

I do believe in reincarnation though. I think a soul is too awesome, too much energy to simply disappear in an instant. It would all get absorbed back into the earth.
