quitting after 15 years.
hi guys, I just want to go ahead and vent here about my loving turned unhealthy relationship with gaming.
Ive been a gamer all my life, and I started off with the iPod at 5 years old, then transitioned to a 3ds at 10, then an Xbox at 13, and I sold my Xbox and 3ds at 16 because I needed money at the time. I took a 3 year break from gaming, and I have craved that dopamine since during my fallout with gaming.
Yesterday I bought a New 3DS for the first time at 20, I suppose I wanted to channel that inner child and see if I would still have fun at my age, or see if I was blinded by nostalgia. It was a mix of both.
I had fun! But I do realize after playing a couple of classic 3ds tiles that this was quite a dated console, and I also couldn’t help but reminisce over times I was happier as I played these games. And then all of it crashed down on me.
I couldn’t help but feel like I was wasting time
lingering in the past, I felt like I could be doing better things with my time, and I also know how easily I get sucked in to these games as well, I knew coming back to gaming would not be a healthy habit.
So I’m deciding to sell this 3DS, and saying farewell to the gaming scene, I must find hobbies that do make me feel fulfilled and help me maintain a healthy lifestyle ! Not to say the 3DS is not , but at this age, it’s not for me anymore and I can accept that. thank you guys, just wanted to rant!
