So anyway I'm a gamer but, I wouldn't exactly say I'm addicted just looking for more in my life than what I have right now. I quit video games in high school when I was in 9th grade but, it didn't work out so well because I put on a fake personality and tried to make friends with that fake personality. So I started playing video games again in 10th grade and I was happy. I was the happiest playing open world video games where I was the hero and I was fighting some kind of evil dictator or evil person who saved the town/city/kingdom. Also my gaming habits didn't affect my grades. I kind of used video games as a crutch because of the terrible job market. I was really really getting frustrated with submitting a bunch of resumes and applications to companies and never hearing anything back so the resentment kind of grew and grew and I would heal that resentment by playing video games. I'd feel good in the moment but, once it was over I was still frustrated. I think joining this community because as someone who's a gamer now and just does it very sporadically I can connect with fellow (former) gamers and we can talk about what's going on in our lives. So far I created a YouTube page and a blog and I want to make it big with that. I've taken vacations to places like Chicago, Portland, Tokyo, Auckland, and Sydney. I really enjoyed going to those places. Now though I want to tap into a community and unleash my full potential instead of wasting my time browsing the internet and playing games. I have a special message for the world and I want to let it out and become a hero in real life and not just the virtual world.
