Sorry for my topics all being based around the same damn thing, but I can't shut my damn head up.
What's wrong with failure that seems to put a butt on all ideas?
"I'm going to university to study biology, what are you doing?"
"I'm going for a job in Games Design at Rareware."
"No uni then?"
"No."
"What happens if you don't get the job?"
Argh.
You don't understand.
I've never really taken a risk in my life. Apart from the climbing out of windows scenario... nothing that could really, really affect my entire life from this day on.
I think it's damn time I took one.
My chance goes like so.
Everything that lies behind me, my exams, possibility of going to university, anything like that... that's going out the window. I will happily fail all my exams if I get this job, and I'm forced to work 19 hours a day to impossible deadlines. If I have the job, that's all I want.
But people don't seem to understand. If for one second, I suggest to myself, "right, here's plan B"... then I can then say "Ah well, there's always plan B".
With all crap that's thrown at me, not just from teachers, but students, and parents... It's easy to see "Hey, they're right, I better sit my exams in case I'm wrong."
I'm not wrong. I've never been more damn right in my life. I write this so often because I damn damn damn believe it.
But it's tempting not to. My confidence is pathetic, and I've got to do everything I can to give myself a high. I need to walk into my life and claim it. I can have no fear of failure, because I won't fail. Not JUST because I've got nothing to fall back on, but because I'm the best person for this job.
Hey, boundaryless, you think I'm crazy? I'm not crazy, I'm gritting my teeth and facing life, instead of wallowing in self pity and being held back by anyone who apparently knows me better than I do. People who judge their own failures against me, insulting me, telling me that I'm wrong to love.
You messed up your life by following the rules, I'm going to follow my own rules instead.
"I've never met a more pathetic bunch in my entire life. You fail once, and then give up on ever trying to do something special again."
"If you fail once, try again, find another dream, and follow it. Follow it with your heart, and don't give up. Think of how much you could have achieved in the time you've spent here."

Best game ever, did I ever tell you about it? :0)
