    Funny enough, I learned The Game in middle school from the lol random Invader Zim kids.

    To read way to deeply into it for what it is, The Game has greatly influenced my philosophy on life as an experience. In The Game, the less you think about playing it the better you are at playing it. Likewise, in life if you spend a lot of time thinking about life itself then you spend less time actually living life, so the less you think about living the better you are at experiencing living.

    Obviously it’s good to reflect on life every now and then, but I used to spend a lot of time in my head doing that to the point that it was a bit of a problem. I found that the more time I spent in my head the more frequently I would lose the game, so losing the game was a sign that I was maybe overthinking things to some degree and should ground myself.
