In my eyes, video games are a portal to another world.
Another plane of existence.
A virtual reality.
Life is a lot like a video game.
You start off, all nice and well.
Roaming around, avoiding opponents and hopping over obstacles along the way.
Sure, you may get knocked down a couple of times along your journey.
But getting back up is the sign of determination.
That you can do it.
That you can strive.
Even if you're having trouble with something and you continue to stand firm throughout shows that you aren't afraid to be your best, even when you're at your worst.
There are millions of stories to be told and with each their own protagonist to tell them.
The question is, which one are you?
