the time for games is over. Let's face it, as adults, the time for games was over when we left high school...maybe some of us got away with them in college, but not many. Your life is not a game...there shouldn't have to be a feeling of having to collect the most game pieces, or answer all the questions correctly in order to win. You don't need to have the newest, shiniest, prettiest new things in order to compete...or feel worthy enough to compete. If you've been told differently...then it was a player that told you so!
There is no Go where you automatically collect $200 for every trip around the board...most of us don't get to buy a hotel on Park Place (although some of us grew up there) and there are no get out of jail free cards.
Think about it...it's the flaw in their logic...the only ones that advocate keeping up are the ones trying the hardest to keep up. The ones that have it figured out don't care where you work...what you do...how much money you take home or what car you drive...they've figured out that it's all about WHO you are.
The sum of all your stuff doesn't make up who you are...they're just things. I would rather have a few good friends than a bunch I can't count on...I would rather have some knowledge than know everything...I don't need a bag for every outfit, I need one that functions with my life as it is...I don't need a car, I live in NYC - why? I would rather have a good meal at a great restaurant than an okay meal at someplace really fancy and expensive. I don't need to be seen in order to feel my night is complete...and you don't need to be rich or powerful to be my friend...I need you to be there for me and want to be my friend...and by the way...the same rules apply to any potential boyfriend applicants...hey...a single boy can dream.
We are all adults...the time for games is over..it's taken me a while to figure out some of that...but it's the truth. Do with it what you will...it's Life...not the game of Life!
