So, my brother had been a long time addict and general waste of space for years. One day, he calls me and my mom and asks us to meet with him at iHop because he has something important to tell us.
He sits there with us talking for about twenty minutes. Just chitchat. Finally, he says "I believe I have made a big breakthrough." My mom is ecstatic and interrupts him, congratulating him on getting sober and starting to get his life on track.
He looks at both of us and says "I did this experimental strain of weed a few months ago and now I think I am beginning to be able to move things with my mind. I am almost there. I think I need to just buy a little more and I will be able to do it. Its really expensive, though. I was hoping you guys could chip in with me so I could afford it."
As many of you know… I am a frooks addict. Since coming back to this site in late June, I have played close to a hundred games. At least 80% of them being frookies. For a period of time there was not a single day that I was not in at least one frooks, sometimes up to three or four. I have played frookies in bars, driving in cars, at the movies, in a room full of friends, parked next to the place I picked up my sushi, on a beach in hawaii. I have taken an exit on the highway to park my car on the side of the road just to get my fix (and I won that game too)! At some point you have to realize there’s a problem. Because of the rotation and games being so limited, for so long I felt the need to join every game because it could be another day till the next (and seeing a frookies filling is so thrilling), but recently I’ve taken the time to step back and realize like damn it is not that serious. I genuinely have an amazing life and the only reason I play these games is because I am extremely competitive and this site is so unique in the fact that you’re constantly competing against real people. I will still definitely play frookies but I am slowly trying to distance myself because I’ve realized I have put getting that validation from others over my responsibilities , friends and the rest of the shit going on in my life. Like yesterday I had a two hour drive to my college town for country night and I got there almost an hour late cause I wanted to finish my frooks game before the trip and made my friends have to wait for me. This is kinda cringe don’t judge me that hard but I hope some others can relate at least a bit
Im the first deaf person to play big brother 🔇 i have no role model, no one else has played this game that I can look up to 🥺 thats a huge step for me 💨 I had to play a social game and a physical game 🦾 social game? bruh 🤣 i cant even hear 85% of the conversations that happen in this house 🙊 so i had to step up and what did I do to step up? I lived in have-not ‼️ Have you seen that done before 😄 I lived in have not so I can have conversations and talk with everyone and have good connections 🧠 also for my social game, i almost had a perfect game 😲 I never got put up. The one time I got put up? Who guess who deciding that my fate ⁉️ The guy I saved 👉 week four. thats a good social game. Physical game? I ha-came into this house and yall saw me as a huge physical threat 😰 so I already know that in my head i have to back away from winning comps. I won the first comp, look what happened, hisam was gunning for me 🤪 but, i stepped away, picked up my social game 🦿 played path of power 😮 used that 😩 lied 😖 I only told one person, cirie ‼️ and then obviously jag 😜 I kept that to better my game i lied about that power, and then when it came to actual peer pressure 😳 double elimination, two time champ 🥇 veto. I performed when I needed to in case there was going to be danger 😏 during that time, thats the scariest time 😰 and i performed there. Then I backed away cuz I knew my social game was good 😎 so I didn't need to win hoh's 😵💫 then? uhhhhhhhh 😨 what else 🤔 uhhhhhh I think thats most of it 😋 I mean 🤔 thats how I played ya know, I was a team player 🦾 I didn't knew I could not get far 🫡 playing this game as a solo player 👽 and thats why ultimately I saved jag 👼 because I knew we could go far together ‼️ there was no leader there was no one bossing anyone 🥹 I played my own game, he played his own game 🫃 had he gone out week four, I would have been fine ☺️ because I played a good social game with everyone in this house 😤 no one put me up 😩 until the very last second 😭 and you know how I got up last second 🤔 rock paper scissors 😎 I was willing to do that ☝️ thank you
