Something more

Have you ever wondered if there's something else to the life that you're living? Maybe during those moments of insomnia during the night, or perhaps while taking a shower or it could be one morning, after you wake up and you just wonder: is this it?

Not that your life sucks or anything (maybe it does but it probably doesn't), is just that everything feels so... ordinary, common, pointless even. And day after day, life goes by and you're no achieving anything, not really, so you seek refuge in videogames or TV shows, movies, books, just about anything, and it's great, but it only lasts so much until it makes you feel worse because eventually you have to put those distractions down and then you realize just how ordinary your life is compared to those adventures you experienced. Maybe that's why gamers are so addicted, the rush must be better (and worse) than any of the others, since you actually become another character, you just don’t read or watch another person's life, you control a different existence, hence when the game is over (or paused) and you go back to, you know being just you, it's simply disappointing.

I realize is not like this to all people, billions must go around, living their lives without giving it a second thought, just doing what they're supposed to and being happy with what they got, I guess in a way those people are happier than the ones who crave for something more, because most people who wonder if this is it, will come to realize that, for them at least, this is the life, after all, an adventure can have only so many heroes and most people are simply shadows in that adventure. That doesn’t stop me from wondering, if there’s something else in my life and what can I do in order to stop the ordinary and start living in the extraordinary…
