Clemson Chick's blog: "Mind Monopoly Sucks!"

Mind Monopoly Sucks I am going through a divorce, which all of you know (or most of you know), and this is what I am thinking, "I don't get it. Why do I have to play these silly games? It sucks. I just want to be me and who I am is kind and giving (well that's true to a certain extent). Why do I have to pretend to not give a shit?"   While I certainly feel for me, and other women in my shoes (Lord knows I'm not alone) and totally know that most of the games are  nonsense someone still told me "because you have to."  Until you truly meet that guy who allows you to be the true person you are, the game must be played.  Otherwise, you'll look back at your life somewhere down the road while you're sitting alone in a rocking chair and have tons of regret.  Does this game ever end? Do you ever really find that one person who rocks your world?  The one who makes it impossible for you to not let your guard down.   Or does that person just exist in our mind?  Do we even want this game to end?  Or, is it the game itself that makes our lives interesting and adventurous??    And for those of us who have walked down that damn aisle, was that the finish line for this game??    But the game itself can be exhausting.  And it can beat you to a pulp if you try too hard to win.  I'm not even sure it's about winning or losing.    In many ways, it's like a simple game of tic-tac-toe.  If you have two people who really know how to play, there should never be a winner or loser.  Yet, for some reason it still attracts us.  Even excites us, as we wonder if our opponent will slip up and we will, in fact, ultimately win.  I have been out of this game for years, so I am only just returning to this damn freaking monopoly game. What do you think?  Is it really a game worth playing?   Have you waited to make that phone call? Have you blown someone off on purpose because you think it works? Or have you been on the receiving end and had to keep up with this game. Do you think its a necessary evil ? My Opinion :    I think games suck and frankly they piss me off. It causes me to have a reaction that usually only men would have: I grab a bottle of Jack and say F*** that. If I cant be me , I cant be with you. Cheers!!!
