You know what I miss?

Scrolling through my fb newsfeed, I came across a friend's post about how she's addicted to this one RPG. And, that she'll beat it before her boyfriend gets home. Then, I start to think back to a time when my life was so much simpler. Back before I had a child, a full time job, and a failed marriage.

I was single and carefree. I had minimal bills to pay, and just had to worry about getting to class on time. Other than that, the rest of my time was my own. Boys were not a huge factor, and I had plenty of friends to keep my social life busy. I played music, I danced, and I enjoyed my video games. 

My favorite was an RPG called Final Fantasy. My favorites being 7, 8, 10 & 12. I could play those games all day or all night. By myself mostly, but with friends sometimes. It helped when I had a friend to read through the guide book while I ran around the game finding all the extras I wouldn't have known about on my own. Some parts of the game got so intricate, where you actually had to play a side game to continue on with the main story. It could get pretty intense, but I loved it. 

Maybe it's because I'm in a sort of limbo right now, but I want so much to go back to those carefree days. When I didn't have to be at work all day during the week, and class only took up 2 or 3 hours of my day. Back when I could turn on my game, flip open the guide book to where I left off, and just run around Midgar, Cosmo Canyon or Balamb, and just phase into my game. 

Oh, simple days ... how I miss thee. I know that life must go on, and believe me, it has. But, every now and then, I need a little escape. So, I think that after I furnish myself with a new bed, I'll go ahead on splurge on a new gaming system. I have my Wii, and I love that, but I need my PlayStation. I'm a Sony girl, after all. Yes ... and, so the hunt begins for a good, used PlayStation 3. See you later, readers .... xoxo
