Minecraft is my life, in the cringiest way possible.
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 droppes, 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.
