Beginnings & Endings
Sometimes not knowing where to start is the best place to start. Writing, like walking, starts with taking the first step. Everything has a beginning, sometimes it’s not known until the end where it truly began. I grew up with the saying, “If you can dream it, you can achieve it.” Now common sense dictates if it has a beginning it will have an end, to me not so much. I believe there is just a 'To be continued'.
As human beings we have many beginnings. Life begins at birth, one beginning. Mental awareness begins a new journey as well. Our emotions are in a constant flux of beginnings and endings. In these 'endings' are actually many beginnings. Endings are like goodbyes, not always pleasant or needed.
Take for example the story of the boy and the mountain. The boy was seeking his fortune and felt that the best opportunity lay on the other side of the mountain. Being a poor boy he had no means of climbing the mountain safely as it was so steep. He could not go through the mountain without the proper tools, and going under was even more impossible. So he began a journey around the mountain. A journey that took him a lifetime and gave him many opportunity's at many things. The moral to me in that story is two things. One: Never give up; and two: There are no endings, only new beginnings.
How I ended up writing for Bending Reality all originated from an online game I play. I started playing the game cause I was bored an lonely. It was just a way to pass the time. A game that has netted me many good friends and a business partner. I am grateful to all I have met along the way and hope for many, many years of fruitful mutual exchange in minds an emotions.
I have played this game I speak of going on the 4th year now. When I started playing the game I was at a low point in my life, not my worst by far, but nothing I’d wish on anyone. I was depressed, felt unwanted and un desired. To be bluntly honest I was also horny, ha-ha-ha. It was a whole new world in there, I could be anything or anyone I wanted. I met many types of people from many walks of life.
Many different types of minds all in one area. I have met atheists, Wicca, agnostic, bisexuals, gays, lesbians, an also Transgenders. So many variety menially of all types. A smorgasbord, smelting pot. Some took it a bit too serious and to others it was a total joke. I watched and listened. Not so much at first, just dove in and went crazy.
Over time I was hurt in mind an emotion again and again. I almost quit many times, staying only because I had nothing else to look forward to in life. Sad, huh? But thanks to a few good people I have met along the way I feel I have enriched my life emotionally, mentally and come out stronger for it.
Many call it ' Just a game' and in some ways they are right. It IS just a game, a fantasy. It just like a dream. But what’s life without all that? It’s essential for logic to work, you need emotions (nonlogical) for reality; you need dreams for fantasy. You cannot have one without the other in my view. Without that fantasy game I'd not have such great real friends in my life now. SO, go ahead, call it “Just a game.” To that I say “Play on my friends, play on!”
