Woot (Shiny Video game sound)
Hey guildies
Every year since I can remember, and I do the most good remembering, life taunts me
with really cool experiences that I can never afford or just miss out on…damn you life.
I just tell myself, "its ok. there's always next year" and then the next year comes
and I'm still broke…or unavailable...but mostly broke.
Now, I'm not talking about resolutions.
I mean, I have those but who really keeps those anyway…unless you do, then…you know...good
job, but…I need help.
This "next year" problem of mine, goes beyond that.
It's less like having resolutions and more like being at a restaurant and seeing the
waiter coming towards your table with food and you get excited but then it's not your
food…its the other table's food...talking about false hope here people.
It's something that says life will generally improve…and then it doesn't.
It's kinda like No Mans Sky where you think you're progressing, and you're going to
get to the center of the universe and beat the game just to get there and (spoilers)
you just restart the damn game.
You try to keep that hope alive like, next year Ill finally be able to get that adorable
husky puppy.
Next year, Ill finally get to go on my honeymoon to Hawaii after 5 years of marriage.
Next year, I won't be broke for once.
The idea that I get so hung up on "next year" is kind of silly because years are
very arbitrary.
The earth circles the sun once.
During that time some people have amazing experiences and others...not so much.
But when you stop and think about it, nothing is really different from one year to another.
New years eve is over, the sun rises on January 1st and it's just another day.
Despite that fact, but we all view it as a magical level restart button with limitless
opportunity, but the world is still rotating the same way it always has.
At least, that's what I tell myself while slowly crawling toward the end of that year's
finish line with a laundry list of "next year" hopes recycled from the years before
and the chains of negative world and life events weighing me down.
It's to protect myself from being let down.
Again.
For the 27th year in a row.
I know all of this, but yet again, I'm naively looking to the finish line with hope.
Not because I think next year will be a magical llamacorn who will solve all of my problems
and let me ride it's fluffy glory into bliss, but because I think I've finally learned
something.
Life is a story and any story worth your time has conflict.
Something is always going to try and knock you down because life isn't perfect.
Just as every chapter of a book, episode of an anime, or every level of a game presents
new plot devices for the main character to overcome, every year comes with it's ups
and downs.
What defines the hero, what defines you and your life, is what you do with what is put
in front of you.
Does that mean that you should always try to feel happy when something sucks?
No.
I hate it when characters are unrealistically positive that just not how feelings work.
You take that sucky thing, embrace it, and push past it in a way that would make Subaru
proud.
It's really easy to let the bad stuff make you want to give up, instead though let it
light a fire under your ass to prove it wrong.
To conquer it.
I was watching the exorcist the other day and something one of the characters said really
struck a chord with me, "don't let them win".
The death eaters, the heartless, the titans, the haters, the bullies, the crappy circumstances,
the inner demons, the negative thoughts… don't let them stop you from being your
very best and striving for your dreams.
There are countless villains in this world just waiting and hoping to see you to fail
and longing to bring you down.
Don't let them win.
Be the main character you were meant to be and let your awesomeness shine, giving light
into what can seem like darkness.
So with this realization of mine, I'm actually looking forward to 2017.
Will some bad things happen?
Probably.
Am I going to let that hold me back?
No.
Because, I won't let them win.
So I will stand back up when I life pushes me back, I will eat the less than perfect
circumstances, and I will turn the other cheek when things try to get the best of me because
I am stronger than my circumstances.
To me, it's all worth the fight.
I might not have powers, but I'm the main character of my story and I am going to be
a great one.
You guys should too.
