Life's Little Games

Now I wouldn't call myself a professional gamer or anything of the sort, but I do dabble in a lot of different types of games.  I always have, all through my life I've played video games, I usually always play them to then end and I like to do so on the highest difficulty.  I just feel that much more satisfied when I beat the game.  My insides cry out, "HELL YES I SHOWED YOU!"  I take my victories where I can get them and I want to take that philosophy to my life.  It just seem that life puts you at the most difficult setting and forces you to play it that way.  It's harder because you can't save in between levels and you can't pause.  You also don't have any other lives, there are places you can rest and recover, and you'll have to manage your resources, but the hardest thing about this game; like in Skyrim, there are far too many options, far too many roads to follow.

This is one of my main problems, I cannot pick a path and follow it to the end, life seems like an endless game that I cannot beat because the road to the end splits into a million different smaller ones.  I thought I found out what I really wanted to do in life; only to find out that I like doing some thing similar but much different than what I had originally planned.  Maybe my qualities have set me up for failure; too many points places into one talent tree, and in all the wrong skills.  I want to be an artist, I want to be a photographer, no wait, I want to be an dinosaur, those things were bad ass.  Oh damn, there is no money in being a dinosaur, wait, there is no money in the other things I want to do either.  Well damn, I can't respec guys, life said no.

There are also rules in games, there seems to be none in life, we can pretend that there are with laws, and societal customs, but honestly people glitched this game so bad, and the creators can't catch all the bugs.  You shouldn't be able to cheat in this game, but in so many ways people have conned their way to victory and it really makes me want to rage quit; sleep.

There are many times that I wished that I could hack this game, but then I wouldn't have the "HELL YES I SHOWED YOU" feeling.
