RISK EVERYTHING FEAR NOTHING


Dear someone watching from the shadows,
The policy is honesty and nothing is censored. The world is not made of atoms. It is made of stories.
These are some of mine.
I was born in China, grew up in a small country town, spent my next decade in the most isolated city in the world. I am now 3000 miles away, embarking on my next chapter. The air smells verdant and pure, I am surrounded by nature in bloom, and beautiful people who hold such exquisite stories.
I want to go everywhere, meet everyone, and do everything. I will.
Love, someone at the other end.

So it begins. Let’s have some fun.Age 15+  Players 2+Planning and scheming every step. One wrong move and it’s over. We didn’t just master the rules. We made them.I had you wrapped around my finger, so manipulated in desire I even fooled you it was the other way round. I was happy and I was free, but there was something deeper going on under the surface that no one knew about. Not even me. See, that’s the thing about games, sometimes you don’t just cheat other players. You cheat yourself. Now what, here we are, stuck in a stalemate, both with peices of each other.It started out as fun, with a full board, a game of pawns; you went first. And then, slowly, we reduced each other to pieces. We took everything, spared nothing, fought and fought this lack of control, this reduction of sense, this ridiculous dance of strategy and hearts.It’s your move, and I really don’t see much left for us to lose.We’re both too stubborn to make a move to end this.I always said “I won’t fuck a cheat.” But I did. Many times. I don’t understand what’s happening to me this year, and I vary day to day whether turning my back was a good thing. One thing I know for sure. I don’t like games. Not anymore.It’s all a game until someone gets hurt. Even then, we don’t stop playing.We lie, we cheat, we steal.Why?What’s it all for?Ifthereisanything?The heart didn’t come with instructions.Games are played for entertainment, money or cocktails. If you’re not having fun, it’s time to roll the dice and move ahead two spaces. Win or lose, regardless of pain, we learn, we grow.Games not over until I say it is.Check mate. But life, unlike chess, continues after checkmate.

So it begins. Let’s have some fun.
Age 15+  Players 2+

Planning and scheming every step. One wrong move and it’s over.
We didn’t just master the rules. We made them.
I had you wrapped around my finger, so manipulated in desire I even fooled you it was the other way round. I was happy and I was free, but there was something deeper going on under the surface that no one knew about. Not even me. See, that’s the thing about games, sometimes you don’t just cheat other players. You cheat yourself.

Now what, here we are, stuck in a stalemate, both with peices of each other.
It started out as fun, with a full board, a game of pawns; you went first. And then, slowly, we reduced each other to pieces. We took everything, spared nothing, fought and fought this lack of control, this reduction of sense, this ridiculous dance of strategy and hearts.
It’s your move, and I really don’t see much left for us to lose.

We’re both too stubborn to make a move to end this.
I always said “I won’t fuck a cheat.” But I did. Many times. I don’t understand what’s happening to me this year, and I vary day to day whether turning my back was a good thing. One thing I know for sure. I don’t like games. Not anymore.
It’s all a game until someone gets hurt. Even then, we don’t stop playing.
We lie, we cheat, we steal.
Why?
What’s it all for?
If
there
is
anything?

The heart didn’t come with instructions.
Games are played for entertainment, money or cocktails. If you’re not having fun, it’s time to roll the dice and move ahead two spaces.
Win or lose, regardless of pain, we learn, we grow.

Games not over until I say it is.
Check mate.

But life, unlike chess, continues after checkmate.
