Minecraft is my life, in the cringiest way possible.

I’ve watched gameplays ever since I had internet access.

Played it ever since I was 8 on my Xbox 360…

I’ve seen all major updates take place,,,

I’ve seen players come and go,

I was there when the controversial 1.9 dropped, when the glorious 1.12 dropped,

I saw all the iterations of the tutorial worlds…

I saw when Bedrock was created, when Better Together happened…

I was there with the wholesomeness of Mojang and 4J Studios,

the subsequent greed of Microsoft…

The loneliness of single player superflat worlds,,

the wonder of multiplayer,,,

PvP,,

co-op,,,

factions,,,

pocket edition beta,,,

SMPs,,

skyblocks,,

I saw it all.

Yet I still press that silly little button…

I still dream…

I dream bigger, I dream better…

Just like what the poem has taught me to do.

I do it for myself, to escape, to grow.

I do it for my friends, to live together, to smile.

I do it for the legends, the alive and the late.

I live by the poem.

It thought me to love myself,

to love others,

it told me that I am the universe,

that I am everyone,

that we are one,

one continuous program,

just code…

DNA.

Made out of atoms, fruit of quark interactions, commanded by our souls, created by gods, whatever.

I believe we live to improve life itself, to make eachother happy.

Sometimes I wonder what’s behind the encrypted text.

Sometimes I mess with the fabric of the simulation itself, to see its limits.

Sometimes I put on my headphones, lay down, and listen to the music.

Sometimes I imagine rain, a small broken down oak planks structure, supposedly a miner’s old house, I see a gate,, i ..

Sometimes I wish i wasn’t the only one so deep into this rabbit hole.

Sometimes I share my own worlds, I pack them with cool features, and i invite people from all over the world that i call friends.

Sometimes i give this simulation names…

And every time i dream bigger and better…

and I’ve hit the breaking point a while ago

I did it .

I made something that other people enjoy…

I made a proper world.

Something to get lost in,,, something to help others escape…

….

And I do it again, and again, and again.

I am lost in it.

I love it.

Thank you, Minecraft.
