This was posted in another message board for another game I have played for a very long time by myself and have what I consider, "Family" there, so I thought I'd share it with those of you here who know me best also and whom I consider a close friend.
Now, while I really don't know what to write, I figure I'd better write something in the meantime just to have something posted about everything.
As of now, or at least shortly in the coming time as I work on things, I will likely slowly begin weening myself off of Online Gaming, and gaming for the most part. Reason is that I'm at a point in my life right now, where I'm just still not happy with how things are...Where I'm at...Where I'm going..And so forth.
Video Games have been a HUGE part of my life ever since I was a very young child, thanks to my Uncle who kind of induced and fed my addicting habits by supporting me with cups full of quarters for when I'd skip school and play Mortal Kombat 2 all day at the 7-11 three houses down...Or buying me practically every console gaming system when I was young, starting with the Turbo Grafx16.
However, when I look back at the times and ask myself what I've accomplished in life, I really don't have much to say for it aside from Military background and just simply, working random jobs. Video games, while being such a huge part of who I am and my life, are now just simply taking over and suffocating my life overall and getting to the point of literal addiction. Because of this, I've decided to start taking new steps in a whole other direction of life, slowly but surely hoping to eventually be a bit more happier and successful down the road, especially now that I'm 27 going on 28.
The process will definitely not be easy because as we all know, it's very hard to just up and walk away from these things cold turkey, especially in today's world where digital entertainment is everywhere we go..Coffee shops, malls etc. But I'm hoping that I'll be able to either kick it out of my life all together, or do so in a way where I can find a balance between both however I think the first one would be the best option in this case as the second one already occurred numerous times but I still end up getting sucked back in fully and not putting more energy and effort into my job.
With that being said, within the coming week I likely will not be online much at all hopefully. But every now and then I'll likely check things such as my Facebook and emails, regardless, the internet is still needed in today's time to keep up with stuff so I won't cut it out all together.
Anyways, it's been great and a blast to have met alot of you whom I consider close friends, but the time has come to really make a change with everything and just simply grow up some more.
