retro video games (and lessons in life)

I love the  video game Tetris. Keep in mind that I am not very good at it. There is just way too much pressure for me to perform, and let's just say that I do not perform well under pressure. That being said, every now and then, in the middle of play I find my happy place and I'm in the zone. Before I know it, blocks are falling into place, bonus points are happening and I absolutely rule the video game... thus explaining my love for the game.

   Life is at times like a game of Tetris. Most of the time I feel like I stumble through a round. Sometimes the blocks that are on queue are those weird "S" shaped blocks that never seem to fit anywhere. Most of the time the blocks just come way too fast and are piled way too high. Like Tetris, the pressures of life are sometimes too much

...and we all know how I perform under pressure (if you don't already know, I do not do well under pressure.)

   That being said, one day my life will feel just like a game of Tetris, one of those games where blocks are falling into place, bonus points are happening, I find my happy place and absolutely rule... thus my love of life!

   One day... soon.
