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鈥檛 found the number yet, I would say yes. Meanwhile I was playing games. But, this trick of mine didn鈥檛 last long because my uncle caught me and that was the end of me tricking my grandma.馃槀
Talking about games, I love games so much because they get me to use my brain a lot. I wouldn鈥檛 really say I fancy all these bubble gum and candy games cos that鈥檚 really not my thing. I鈥檓 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鈥檓 currently living.
Speaking of games, I鈥檝e never thought of my life as a game. How come it never came to mind? I鈥檝e imagined my life playing out as a movie and man, it鈥檚 one you鈥檇 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鈥檙e to put every one in it鈥檚 right place to get the perfect picture.
Yes! That鈥檚 what my life would be if it was a game. A puzzle game and a complex one at that. I鈥檝e always loved puzzle games and it鈥檚 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鈥檙e to fit in. Everyday, I wake up and try to find the right place to fix each puzzle piece. Some days, it鈥檚 a struggle, other days it comes to me naturally.
When I鈥檓 able to fit about half of the puzzle game, I celebrate cos that鈥檚 one hell of a milestone. And sometimes, I鈥檓 sad because I can鈥檛 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鈥檛 mean there aren鈥檛 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.
