Life's Crazy Game

Now that you are an adult, you have entered the grown-up arena. This game will be intense at times, but you will survive if you keep your wit about you and pay attention to the times. I host Life’s Crazy Game and will help you send you along the way.

You think you know it all, and I will let you take a spin, but be careful of the decisions you make in the end. Now, spin the wheel or roll the dice to find out your next move just right. Just take a chance. Nothing is guaranteed in this game, but you can try to advance. Now, take a whim with the college thing or push the straight into the working gig. Both run risks back and forth, and the best for you, who really knows? You regret whatever you do; keep that in mind, rolling the dice each time.

You chose the college route to live it up, learning new things. If the classes need to be more challenging enough, try studying more complicated stuff. Sessions are excellent if you show up, and spending money is a bust. Parties and groups are abundant but remember, it comes with consequences. Having fun and making friends are always lovely pieces, but a degree can get you far if you know how to play your hand in cards. Two years, four years, or far beyond depends on how much you are willing to do in the short run. When everything starts to hit with the classes and the homework while trying to enjoy yourself. You are young and have the energy, so do it before it brings you down. Many things will come your way; just prepare as best I say. Some professors are friendly, and others are not. You just must learn to play the game of pleasing the leader, by the way. You did not study well, and your grades are in the tank to sell. Fun can be great, but it does not pay those bills. You also borrowed the money to attend school; be prepared to pay without tools.

Now you are back with your parents, finding a job is more complicated than you imagined. You feel like a desert now with bills to pay and nowhere to go. You take the first job offered, and it was the only one proffered. It is not the best and not the worst, but days of fun are far behind. The heat is up to earn more money, and your parents think your stay is not that funny. Pressure mounts as it comes, and finally, a cheaper apartment comes along. Mom and Dad had all the food. Now, life is just being rude. Things cost money, and you have none as you wander in the heat all day. Do you know it all now, or was your immaturity boasting proud.

Then you meet a person you like and try to win them over this time. It would help if you had a better job to bring an oasis to this drop. This person is the one, and you must prove you are worthy of their love. A better job has come your way, and you can afford a better place. You marry that person with pure intent, expecting no problems to happen unexpectedly. Things start getting complicated with diapers and house payments. While trying to balance some quaint streams with faster-rushing water streams. You are beginning to ask how your parents did it. Yet, your life is only the beginning, and so many things go wrong when relationships are on the rocks. Each day starts drying up any hope of better stuff. You keep trying, but the heat comes back, and when your spouse no longer says, I do. Your world is shattered in two. The stream dries up, and you are alone, caring for the kids you know. I told you decisions will make or break your life in many ways. Now you can find someone else, but the last one will never forget you somehow. Money is tighter than before, and your dreams go out the door. Still, it would be best if you persist since your parents are done with all that has happened. Life looked so simple from your childhood dreams, but it is now tarnished by reality streams.

The home you had is about to be sold to get you some money for those children born. You are getting older, and you feel like a giant joke. Keep rolling those dice, and things do not improve. The desert grows more prominent as you wander through. The game was different from when you started it. Then, light suddenly appears, and a new love enters the sphere. Your life is overflowing, and your children are growing. These valleys are pleasant but do not last forever. Be careful, my friend, of the pitfalls of havoc. Keep putting those cards down, and the desert returns. Losing your job and trying to keep the family together. The monsoon season is coming back as ever. Drowning and barely staying afloat, it strains the very sand from feet. Tough it out, my good friend; some things work out when you least expect it. You are older and somewhat wise. You started this game with all the greatness in front of you, but it might just be the end of you. Keep spinning the wheel, and you will find something to stick in the long walks of this horrible place.

Now your kids are grown, and your bills are starting to wane. You wish them to move on, just like your parents did. Those years of heated wandering are over as you wait to be moving over. Be careful of life turning over.

Life will give and take change upside down in just one day. Life’s Crazy Game has not killed you yet. Despite all the hills you climbed in it. You rolled your dice, spun the wheel, and played your cards, which was not so hard. There is a death, and life is back to being your personal desert again. Grief swells in your heart; loss is no joke to the breaking heart. Things continue to get worse, and you can only observe. All you have built out all those years, it is stolen so easily by life’s wind of change just to keep it exciting ways. I am surprised you are on better ground, being that it was all those times you made those mistakes, and yet you are now standing in every way. Yet, will it stay?

Now, here come the grandkids, the cutest of all. This time is for you spoiling them and letting the next generation do their part in the life cycles of Life’s Crazy Game. They have entered it themselves and made the same mistake. You cannot teach everything in that way. You keep playing your cards, trying to avoid the desert and harm. In the end, it can come, and you have been doing this for some time, and not yet has come. Suddenly, things go wrong; your spouse is now gone. This turn of events turns your world upside down. Now, you are in the desert town. Your new reality is on the brink. Crazy is the ups and downs of this crazy town.

Life has a funny way of messing with your head. I have seen many falling apart and ending in the darkest parts. If not for your desert, you could not see what you could be. Your dreams changed my friend from immature greatness to living a fulfilled life in stone. Remember this to teach the young that life has ups and downs all day. Walking through those deserts and valleys is just a dice roll. I, your host, have seen so many; they seek their way and find their folly. Barely does it improve, as you thought it would in childhood brews.

So be careful, my friend, in all that you do. The craziness of life does not ever stop with its ups and downs. The cards can be cruel and grand, but that is the way in Life’s Crazy Game. If life leaves you high and dry, do not let it be dimmed. In your thoughts, you might just realize the desert is unavoidable thinking to yourself.

Engulfed in the desert’s parched silence, I was nothing but another grain of sand in the wind.
