Hey you (reader), I told you that I wanted for things to be open and honest between us. This is a site where I want to build a community of people who help and support each other. It's easy to say let's be honest and vulnerable. It's another thing to show. This week might not relate to games much, aside from my favorite game got a new update. But it will give you some insight as to how my life has been going lately. Honestly, it's not been great. Mentally and emotionally, I feel a bit exhausted. Do you ever have the idea that things are getting better and it feels like for once things are going your way? I felt that this past week. Until I didn't. It was like all the things that felt right, now felt like they were leaving me. I finally felt like I was building a life at school. As it turns out, I wasn't. I got an interview for a job, but their only times available was during a final, I thought I had made a real friend, turns out, he didn't care to be friends with me. I'm slowly working through everything. It's easy to focus on the bad. But sometimes you have to focus on the good. That's what I'm choosing to do. I'm almost done with my semester and I've lost some weight lately. Just gotta keep chugging along, you know?

Hey you (reader), this week was Thanksgiving! I know that means stuff such as overeating, over spending because of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and over sitting can occur. That's alright, doesn't mean you're taking a step back! Think of it like stats. Sometimes, you equip something with different stats. Plus 1 to defense, but minus 2 to strength. There are steps back that occur. This doesn't mean you're failing. It just means that you have to think about it a different way. That's what this week is all about. Not punishing ourselves for enjoying the little things in life, such as food, spending money, and overall just being a bit lazy this week. That is okay! You need a break sometimes. We all need to take a break, in the inn that is life and just relax a bit.

Hey you (reader), this week I've been thinking a lot about Emotional Wellness. I've been thinking of this in relation to defense right? Emotions are how you deal with the outside world and process the things that go on around you. If something bad happens, your emotions fluctuate between anger, sadness, and jealousy. Defense is how you protect yourself from outside forces. Typically in a video game this is a phyiscal hit or magic. But in real life, it's more about how you control how you react to situations. I know I've been emotionally weak lately. I haven't been processing things properly sometimes. But thats why we're here right? To level up our stats. This week is all about defense. I've personally found that taking a moment to meditate or reflect on life choices has been a great way to help me process information.

Hey you (reader), I figured I'd use this page as kind of a personal diary. A way to document my own health and wellness as well as motivate you. This will be a great way I believe to let you in on my life. Sometimes, pages can feel very impersonal and I pride myself on being a very open book person. Sometimes too much. This week, I started working more on physical aspects of health. This involved a lot of exercise and nutrition. I've started working out four times a week. Two legs days and a push day and a pull day. I can't even begin to tell you how much this has motivated me and helped my mental health too. Health is all well and good but lets get down to the nitty gritty. I started this site as a way to combine my love of video games and health. I feel like there's a stereotype that if you like video games, sci-fi or fantasy then you're unhealthy and awkard. But why should that be the case? That's what my goal is here. To show people that you can combine those and apply video game logic to real life and improve your lot in life. I look forward to blogging and growing more with you.
