Hey David, the only thing stupider than stupid is not to know when stupid is stupid. Erm, yea...I think

Often when I have a new game I wanted for a long time, I keep on reading good reviews all the time to get me “worked up” for this game. Of course this is big problem when trying to write reviews by myself. Thinking that you don’t have an opinion of your own is not the best start for a game tester… |
Hey! I do that too, I love reading reviews. I thought it was ok

Yes, I probably had my first real kiss with about 18/19 and found my love with 20 (so that makes two girls in an entire life). I don’t have a big problem with it, but of course it gets you wondering some times if you really made the right decision… |
Some girls would say that's romantic

At least you're making them...

Like make a living with a job I love and feel passionate about, doh…Getting some respect, get more discipline and like myself, and so on. Trying to do my part making this world a better place. Hmm, that makes me remember that we have a free-hug day in a few weeks in germany. Gets a smile in my face and a tear in my eye every time I see it. |
David, I think you just gave yourself the best advice. I wish I could tell you that you could change your life overnight, but I wouldn't think you could be sold
Give yourself some time and leeway, my friend. Thinking about what you want more is a step in the right direction, keep walking. I found this article very inspiration, and perhaps you will too.
