As an avid gamer, I've found solace in the virtual world, especially during my battles with anxiety and bouts of depression. Video games have been my sanctuary, my escape, and my teachers. There are plenty of games that transformed my life and myself as a person in some way but I will mention only three in this post because, for some reason, they were most impactful. Minecraft taught me the beauty of creation and patience. Building block by block it mirrored life's journey, reminding me that every small step counts towards constructing my own masterpiece. Botanicula was a balm to my soul. Its enchanting world, filled with quirky creatures and soothing music, was a gentle reminder of the joy and wonder life holds, even in its simplest forms. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks truly left an permanent mark on me. The game's unique time-traveling mechanic resonated deeply with me. It allowed me to experience different timelines, to make choices, and to see their consequences unfold. This was a powerful metaphor for life, reminding me that every decision shapes our path, and even if we can't change the past, we can learn from it and shape a better future. The game's intricate plot and challenging gameplay kept me engaged, providing a much-needed distraction from my anxieties. It taught me resilience, as I faced defeat only to rise again, stronger and wiser. It was more than just a game; it was a journey that helped me navigate through my darkest days. Video games provided me with lessons, comfort, and an outlet for expression. They became my silent companions, helping me understand myself better and giving me the strength to face my real-life challenges so my question to you is how did video games change your life for the better?
