Did They Get You To Trade Your Heroes For Ghosts?

I've recently realized just how many people live their entire lives like a game. They play with people. Nothing is completely real, based on emotion or actual feeling - it's strategic. A means to an end that is somehow considered "winning".

It's tiring. As someone who has been a game-piece and as an outsider who has stood by and watched other pieces played... it is honestly draining.

I may not always do the smart thing. I absolutely am driven by feelings and emotions and I sometimes let my brain take a backseat. That isn't always bad - in fact, it's as real as you can get. Feelings are meant to be felt. Emotions acted upon, within reason.

But for those who play games? Well, they can't be read. They are often selfish and arrogant to the point that they are no longer remotely aware of how others may feel. And if they were? It wouldn't matter. It's part of the win.

That's why lately it's been beyond refreshing to meet some people who have absolutely no time for games.

They're about honesty. Being forthright. Everything is right on the table; everyone knows where they stand. No questions.

This is how it should be.

The only game I wanna play is Scrabble.

Whenever I stumble across this blog in my feed, I wonder so many times why you always seem to be on the defense. I hope you feel a little more secure one day, and if people talk shit about ya, let 'em. Stop playing defense and get your offense on girl! You're a striker. GOAL!!!!

Well, thanks!

But this isn't about people talking shit about me. People can say what they want - I'm fairly awesometastic.

Sometimes people who play games with you genuinely do love you. We make mistakes because we have our own inner devils that we cannot shake.

For you, we exorcise them. Patience.

Not sure what to say to that one.

"we"? "you"?

This post is about more than one person. Are you one of em?

You should read 48 Laws of Power...and then stop feeling sorry for yourself and realise, every misfortune you have in your life is because you allowed it to happen.

As "anonymous" said, get to it and step on someones back. They're doing it to and and will contimue to until you start doing it to them.

It's all Primal. Only the strongest survive. What you are witnessing is just the modern day version of hunter gatherer.

Anonymous agreeing with Anonymous. How bout that.

I post things on here cuz I can. It's mine; it's for me. I'm allowed to have moments of feeling like shit. Doesn't mean I'm feeling sorry for myself.

So, if you'd like, you can come on over here and I'll walk all over you. I'm game. It was your suggestion, after all. Right?

she's not feeling sorry for her self anonymous (x2). she's saying that she took a step back and looked objectively at game playing going on around her, commenting on it, and moving on. it's a fucking observation.

and getting "to it and step(ing) on someones back. They're doing it to and and will contimue to until you start doing it to them" is the EXACT thing she is saying is going on - playing a fucking game instead of being real. duh. no wonder you aren't getting the point, you're a game player.

TS said...

Fucking right. Thanks, chick - finally someone gets it.
