Pac man Game

Game Over: 🎮


The Price of

Chasing Illusions is

Just Too High


Hey there,

my fellow urban warriors

~ Reina here,

ready to drop some truth bombs

that might

just save you

from falling into the endless

trap of mindless games.


These are games

that consume our precious time

and

drain our positive energy

~ a game

I honestly

have played myself.


I admit

that I knew

it was

a game all along,

and yet

I began to play anyway.


Thinking to myself,

Mrs Pac Man

“I don’t

have anything better

to do

right now.”


Going through

~ things we go through in life.


It all

seemed

harmless enough.


I was even

curious

just how far

he was willing

to take

this game himself.


Picture this:

you download

a game,

thinking

it's just a harmless way

to

pass the time

and

have some fun.

Soon enough,

what seemed to start

as a simple distraction

turns into

a full-blown obsession.


You

find yourself glued

to the screen,

determined

to conquer every level,

beat every challenge,

and

emerge victorious.

Sounds familiar, right?


I'll be real with you

~ I've been there.


I have

this insatiable thirst

for victory,

whether

it's solving puzzles,

beating the bully

with

mind games

instead of my fists,

even playing friendly

~ just because of ~

The Game.


But here's the thing:

what

may seem

like harmless fun

can

and usually, will

quickly

spiral into something much darker.


Just like those games we play,

life itself

can become a dangerous playground

where the stakes are higher

than we often realize.


In the concrete jungles we call home, getting caught up in games people play for useless superficial attention has dire consequences.

Now some of us

may have it

a little “easier”

than others

financially or socially,

but it’s all the same kind

of trap.


We even watch

the games play out

on reality tv

and it’s

amusing right?


Riiight.


Not really.


Not when

you see it

for what it is.


What may start

as a quest for entertainment

can lead to conflicts,

misunderstandings,

and

~ worst-case scenario ~

even lives lost.


The flashy lights

and

the adrenaline rush

might

feel thrilling

in the moment,

but

the aftermath

can be devastating.

So,

here's my advice to you,

my urban fam:

tread carefully.


Don't let these

illusions

of victory

cloud your judgment

and rob you

of your time,

energy,

and

peace of mind.


Instead of getting sucked into

these battlegrounds,

channel your passion

and

drive into something

more meaningful.


Whether it's

pursuing your dreams,

honing your skills,

or uplifting those around you,

there are endless possibilities

waiting to be explored.


Remember,

time

is the most precious currency

we have,

and once it's gone,

we can never get it back.


So,

choose wisely

where you invest your energy

and attention.


Don't let yourself

be a pawn

in someone else's game

~ be the master ~

of your own life.

Let's

break free

from the chains of illusion

and reclaim our power

to shape our own lives.


Together,

we can rise above the noise,

the distractions,

and the empty victories,

and strive for a future

filled with purpose,

passion,

and genuine success.


Stay woke,

stay focused,

and stay true to yourself.


The world is yours

for the taking –

~ now ~

go out there

and get it,

one wise choice at a time.


Much love and respect,

Reina ✊🏾
