I truly believe that and if I were given the chance, I really would give all my money away for fun and happiness. What was interesting though was that a game developer by the name of Happy Badger Studio favorited and retweeted that and got the attention of 8 other people, the majority of which were game developers. This created a lot of excitement in me because there's no medium in the world that I enjoy more than video games and the fact that so many other people in the world view it like that as well just gives me all the more incentive to pursue this full fledged.
Something that has always kept me from really pursuing this is the idea that once I delve into it, that's what I'll be...A gamer, a nerd, a geek..."I can't believe he still plays video games"--things I've heard all too often. All the while though I've been constantly growing and becoming more immune to the personal opinions of others. Why not do everything i'm good at? Yeah, i'm ultimately hoping to become an Anthropologist to study ancient history and human culture but why can't I also start my own game development studio? There is no one saying I can't but there is a world around me designed to suit people good at just one thing.
Through my efforts, I want to prove to myself and eventually the world that you should pursue what ever you love and feel like you'd be able to meaningfully contribute to. Even now as I write this I find myself torn between dedicating my mental energy to gaming or anthropology because of how I've been conditioned. I'm going to keep pushing though because I love both these things and I just want to do as much as I can with them. I'm a jack of all trades and I want the world to know i'm here to create and share in the beauty of all creation.
Peace and Love
