Growing up, anytime my grandmother gave me her phone to call someone for her, I would end up using her phone to play games for about 30 minutes before even placing the call. And the funny part of all this was that, if she asked if I still haven’t found the number yet, I would say yes. Meanwhile I was playing games. But, this trick of mine didn’t last long because my uncle caught me and that was the end of me tricking my grandma.😂
Talking about games, I love games so much because they get me to use my brain a lot. I wouldn’t really say I fancy all these bubble gum and candy games cos that’s really not my thing. I’m more of a word, 8ball, puzzles and sometimes race games types of person.With how active I like to be, the games I like to play also have to compliment the life I’m currently living.
Speaking of games, I’ve never thought of my life as a game. How come it never came to mind? I’ve imagined my life playing out as a movie and man, it’s one you’d love to watch cos the plot twist is mad. After spending about hour thinking of what game would best fit my life, I finally came to me. Have you ever played a puzzle game before? One where all the pieces are scattered and you’re to put every one in it’s right place to get the perfect picture.
Yes! That’s what my life would be if it was a game. A puzzle game and a complex one at that. I’ve always loved puzzle games and it’s a surprise I never thought of my life as one at the beginning. But, looking at my life, a puzzle would be the best game to represent it. Each piece of the puzzle would represent a different aspect of my life. The thing is, all the pieces are there, but the challenge is in finding the right places they’re to fit in. Everyday, I wake up and try to find the right place to fix each puzzle piece. Some days, it’s a struggle, other days it comes to me naturally.
When I’m able to fit about half of the puzzle game, I celebrate cos that’s one hell of a milestone. And sometimes, I’m sad because I can’t seem to find the right place to fit the last piece of the puzzle to make the picture complete. But regardless, I still keep pushing and hoping to end up with the perfect and complete image.
Life can be tough at times. In fact, life is hard. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t good days. There will always be good days and same as the bad days. But one thing we must know is that, one day we would complete that puzzle.
